that’s kinda the compromise. Works halfway good off road with slow speed heavy articulation and halfway good on the road at high speed articulation (evasive maneuvers). Maybe just worst of both worlds instead of best.
not sure but interested in feedback. I would think the shocks would need to be tuned perfectly and might still not be good enough. Please post additional thoughts as they evolve. @SierraBronco
Thanks yo.
I have the first option. There are additional benefits to upgrading? Like AARP?
Niiiiiiiiiiiiice
Took it out today with a big group that included another Wildtrak with 3” lift and 37’s and a stock badlands. We didn’t do any real “testing” but ours seemed to flex out quite well compared to the badlands with theirs disconnected. Didn’t bother doing any measurements or anything due to the body lift and ADV fenders. You are welcome for my providing of no information with practical use. I guess I could add that the Ford beadlocks are fantastic.that’s kinda the compromise.

That’s awesome! Besides the scenario of a long, drawn out turn they feel fine on the interstate. It was very very windy and gusty when we got done with an hour drive to home. 84 mph with side gusts and the one handed driving still so comfortable that the lane keeping warning comes on. I haven’t driven an IFS vehicle at that speed with the sway bar disconnected but it was certainly much better than a solid axle equivalent.thanks for the update.
I did some math on the stock sway bar and came up with the figure attached. It shows the resistance the heavy OEM bar (1 3/8) and a lighter bar (1”) will reach during wheel articulation. The heavy OEM bar really jacks up resistance quickly.
the walker links essentially give you a free 3” before oem resistance kicks in. At least at slow crawling speeds. I have been debating getting either a softer bar like anti rock or the walker links. The break even point seems to be about 4” of articulation. Walker links seem better on surface than lighter bar at low speed.
For me it all depends on how it does at speed. Any extra articulation in the rocks is a bonus. I may just add the antirock bar and see how it does. Probably good enough for me right now. Might also add a rear bar to push some articulation to the front. Not sure if that is a good idea or not.
anyway great thread. Keep us updated. Love to hear what others are doing.
Yes sir. SKU X02-02-003 + X02-02-004
