I have been installing my SS and have gotten to the section where the inner cooler and oil cooler are to be put in. I have noticed my oil cooler is resting against my sway bar. I have a 17 sling anybody come across this issue and if so how did you correct it. I am thinking about getting some clam shell clamps and mounting it to the sway bar itself. Does the oil cooler have to be against the inner cooler for proper cooling or can there be a gap in-between and still get proper cooling?

Yes, this popped up during my install. I had to pull it off and move it downwards as much as possible. It was still really close.
However, when I changed my sway bar mounts to the DDM mounts, I noticed that I gained about 3/16" of clearance.

The oil cooler just needs to get air across/through it. It does not have to be directly on the intercooler. Please DO NOT mount the oil cooler to the sway bar.

The instructions shows mounting to intercooler. Not difficult..

I agree but your oil cooler is different than the one I have.

send a pic if you can

I will send a better pic

here is my cooler it sure looks different than yours

Your mounting pins should be near the bottom of the intercooler which would keep the oil cooler below the sway bar. The black circles on my intercooler are the mounting pins and you can see how much higher the white sway bar is than the oil cooler.

Yup.

Yup.
okay I must have screwed something up then, it is just not fitting like i think it should.

Wonder why ddm changed the cooler. I assume it must cool better then mine. I also noticed your intercooler is not black. Are they just sourcing different vendors?

Is your intercooler sitting on or just above the lower frame rail visible in the picture I posted?

This unit does not require a sizeable cooler. The one from your picture should do just fine. I special ordered the silver intercooler from Dave over the phone. He is great about making things work for what you want.
