Ford Bronco Sway Bar holding up front end IMG_1809

On Badlands with Sasquatch Installed ICON EXP’s at 2” height. When sway bar is connected the lift is 5” and when disconnected it sits correctly at~2”. Anybody seen this issue with and how to adjust the sway bar?

I can’t say for sure about the EXP’s but I know for the CDEV coilovers you need the sway bar relocation plate. If I had to guess you’ll need it for your front end. Or you can be a total savage and just run with it disconnected all the time

Enable lowrider mode by switching it on and off repeatedly...

Who did you get the relocation plate through? Does it also lower the skid plate for the sway bar

No idea, a buddy of mine had to get the plate for the rear, plus they are completely different shocks. However you might be able to get away with just some quick disconnect links but I can’t say for sure

The Icon swaybar spacer doesn't affect the ride height. Just fixes clearance issues for full articulation with stage3+ coilovers.

The swaybar is supposed to rotate freely and shouldn't affect the ride height on level ground unless something is jammed up.

I assume that you drove it after jacking up the front end? It will sit very high until you drive it since the tires can grab the pavement laterally and won't settle immediately.

I have looked for some but they don’t seem to be mad

Yes, I have driven it multiple times and when disconnected it settles down and reconnected it comes back up. Has me perplexed because it doesn’t make sense.

I'm wondering if they managed to rotate the sway bar disconnect motor mount, I think it's possible if you force it. Need to see some pics of the sway bar setup. Also, what Hoss (1 vs 2) and groove are you on? I have Icon CDEVs and installed the drop brackets for the sway bar, even without the drop I wouldn't expect that to impact my ride height very much.
