Installed a set of these over the weekend. Quick and simple install with quality hardware and endlinks. ACFab even included o-rings to cut down on noise from the linch pins.

Also picked up and installed a set of his rear shock skids. Oscar is a good dude and out there beating on his rig and running his own parts.

When you disconnect it does the sway bar just hang there and move about?

Ford vulcanized the sway bar to the mounts so when disconnected the sway bar itself stays firmly in its resting position. When I say firmly I mean it is nearly fixed. First time I have seen a sway bar on a 4wd rig built this way (typically dealing with Jeeps).

From what I understand, the sway bar is not strapped up or anything but shouldn’t move unless bushings are worn. Here’s a video showing them in action along with some comments and answers.

Hardest part is my knees allowing me to get down on the ground. Reconnecting is best done on relatively level ground, not impossible in of camber but unnecessarily difficult vs finding a good spot to park.

The Sasquatch front suspension is stiff enough that I’ll drive off the trail and to dinner spot on pavement before worrying about reconnecting.

Sounds cheap to me.

These are for a jeep but could easily be cut down and retapped. I may even call them to see if they can produce one for the bronco.

Why does he call these Sasquatch links? Does every trim level have a static sway bar and Badlands the only one with electronic? Are these mountable on any model?

I thought I remember reading 2021 didn’t have sway bar standard…I’m headed out to look under mine.

I think Oscar just likes the name. The links are beefier and people buying Sasquatch are probably more likely to buy quick disconnect links, but id expect these would work on any trim unless the stock suspension has shorter sway bar links 🤷 They all have sway bars. Badlands has the fancy one that doesn’t need this. You might be thinking about the rear sway bar. That’s new for 2022 Sasquatch.
