Torsion Bar Question

[RideClimbNJ]

Any issues with the Hoss 3.0/Fox Shocks setup? Or is your Wildtrak from the 1st half of the MY2023? (I think the switchover from BIlstein to Fox happened in the second half of the MY2023 WildTrak production, right?)

If no issues/adjustments necessary, I was pretty much going to follow @StinkBug's video to a T, probably put the disco on AUX4.

I have a newer 23 with the Fox shocks - goes on just like in the video. Nothing different.

I just went ahead and placed the order for your torsion bar. I wanted it shipped to a different address than my billing. I accidentally forgot to change that. Is there any way you could help with that? Thanks.

Thanks for the support! We do not sell direct; do you know from whom it was purchased? I would be happy to assist you in connecting with the retailer to accommodate your request.

what wheel offset is required to alleviate interference issues for 35x12.5 tires? Does SAS +30 offset interfere with torsion bar?

Thank you. I ordered from CJC. I apologize. I ordered it this morning and by the time I called them it already shipped. Thank you though! Ill just have to keep an eye out.

I look forward to installing it and trying it out on the trails when it comes in!

That's what we're running with 37x12.5" tires and it clears the sway bar!

It would work totally fine with the Hoss 3.0" Foxes, as well.

Hey @Carli-Dan,

Just wanted to confirm the torsion bar would fit on a Hoss 3.0 23' Wildtrak? I reached out to a shop, but they said it could not be installed on the Hoss 3.0 factory setup. I saw you said differently above, but I wanted to confirm.

I just ordered the Carli torsion bar yesterday. hoping it provides the articulation off road while minimizing body roll when on pavement. I've had the King shocks so hoping the combo is as advertised

James, how is your on-road ride with kings and the Carli torsion bar?

it is actually really good. no excessive body roll in cornering, even at speed. I expected more roll but it just leans in. I also removed the rear sway bar and it still handles like a champ. and the kings soak everything up. a really good pairing between the two. off-road is a huge difference - not as much articulation as if disconnected but again, much better than stock. I highly recommend this combo

That is great to hear. Thank you. I’m driving out to pick up the Carlyli’s this afternoon.

you will not regret it. look forward to reading your thoughts once installed and some miles (off and on road)

Absolutely will do. I’ve also ordered the rear sway bar and I’m curious to see if I like driving better with the rear sway bar on or off

I just had mine installed last week and went off-road Saturday and Sunday. Big fan, drives just as good as before the lift and better articulation.

 

[MDH]

Just installed mine yesterday. Somewhat difficult to do several steps of the install, but very happy with the results thus far. My on-road sensation is a little bit more body roll, but because of that, road hits from one front wheel aren’t transferred to the other wheel as much, so it’s a more comfortable ride. Really exactly what I was looking for.
