First off, yes i understand my vehicle is heavily modified. We have 2 broncos an FE 4 door thats still "stock" and my 2 door we both purchased from shamaley ford here in El Paso Texas. These were actually my first new vehicles i have ever bought in my lifetime and the experience was great. But my intentions were to offroad and trail and actually USE the bronco 2 door badlands sasquatch and i even was sold on extended warranty as to make sure I was covered on the drivetrain on a brand new unproven vehicle. Thats what i was told.
I have been a ford guy my entire life (40 now) too many to count and even currrently have a 76 bronco, 69 f250 and 59 f250 all 4x4. anyways. The KNOWN issue on sway bar disconnect equipped vehicles is that this warning comes on, sway bar stays stuck off and goat modes and 4x4 is disabled. this happend twice to my "stock" 4 door. and first time the computer was just flashed. we have seen body control modules or connections or even the entire sway bar system having to be replaced on many of these vehicles. FORD themselves have a bulletin on this issue.
NOW fast forward and im being denied service or warranty work on this issue on my 2 door because it has coilovers or long arm suspension or at least that is what i was told. I was told ford reps even went down to asses and also agreed with the dealership. No clue if thats what really happened but thats what im told as of now. So they couldnt answer the question if ANYONE moving forward with a 2-3" lift with 37s will be $%cked with this known issue moving forward ? i know plenty of people that say their dealership did right by them. Honestly i just wanted them to flash the computer and i am going to have to disconnect the damn sway bar myself moving forward. Its a damn shame. I upgraded to badlands and sasquatch and everything sold on the idea that warranty would cover a known issue like this.
SO just beware. dont get the coolest trim badlands or other sway bar disconnect models if you plan on lifting your bronco (lift me baby)
