Where are the lowered 87' -96' trucks?

Your supposed to flip the end links and use the drivers side on the passenger side and the passenger side on the driver side.
I had to do away with my sway bars because even though JDM said to flip them and use them on opposite sides I still had issues with mine lining up without them being so close to the springs that I felt that under load they may come into contact with the springs.
The back sway bar had to go as well because the brackets that hold it on to the axle were coming into contact with the exhaust. I could have trimmed the brackets but felt that I couldn't trust them afterwords.
The best fix for this issue in my opinion was to go with aftermarket sway bars because of the attachment points.

Thanks and that is correct. Currently no front or rear. Both were removed with the intentions of picking up some aftermarket but the truck still handles without a problem to speak of so the purchase has went on the back burner so to speak if at all.
Lets be honest, are we going to be running our trucks through the cones at the nearest track event?
The only other thing they help out with is heavy trailering which I don't work my truck so.....

Unless it's a typo why would you put 60 series tire on the front and 50s on the rear unless you had a clearance issue?

50 series are wider than 60's.
No clearance issues but I didn't want to go any wider in the front and always thought that really wide in the back and not so wide in the front gave the stance a better look.
Not sure how much wider you would want to go with steer tires but there's still some room up there.

Not to start a war, but just to correct something:
The 50 and 60 number on the tires have nothing to do with width. The width is designated by the first number in millimeters. So 295mm in rear, 245mm in front.
The second number (the 50 and 60) are the aspect ratio - the ratio of sidewall height to width.
You are running a 245mm (9.64") wide tire on a 10" rim up front. Not recommended but lots of guys do it.
I'm not bagging on your truck - it looks great. Just throwing my unsolicited $.02 out there.
