Any advice would be greatly appreciate as I am supposed to make this transaction in less than 24 hours.
I recently came across this article on Bronco Nation that states the following:
"When the 3.0 system was introduced, the immediate reaction from the community was "How can I add that on my Bronco I've already taken delivery of?" At the time, Esteban Plaza-Jennings, former Bronco brand manager, informed BN that parts couldn't be bolted on to make your own HOSS 3.0. The main reason? The rear sway bar Ford added to 4-door Sasquatch Broncos at the beginning of this year was not available on ’21 Broncos.
"The primary difficulty for anyone that wants to bolt on 3.0 is that rear sta-bar," says Bronco Vehicle Engineering Manager Jamie Groves. "If you`have a 21MY truck, you don't have the brackets on the frame to mount the rear sta-bar. Specifically for HOSS 3.0, the rear bar enabled us to reduce spring rates, which offered some tuning opportunities. It's like adding another knob to turn in suspension tuning. That rear bar enables better off-road and on-road performance.”
I am having trouble interpreting if the article is saying HOSS 3.0 is incompatible with all 2021 Bronco models due to a difference in rear sway bar brackets, or if its saying its incompatible with 2021 Bronco Sasquatch models with the sway bar disco.
Any advice or first hand experience on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
