Body on frame doesn't need anything to tie the strut tops together.

OP, if you're looking to increase street performance, switch to 18" rims for 32-33" tires, 20" rims for 35" tires.
Add tires oriented more for on road than off, like the Pirelli AT plus, and you'll be GTG.

This is not a honda civic.

OP needs some bling to put his/her hand on while leaning over the engine bay.

Now if you'll excuse me I need to get back to my French braided brioche and California condor eggs breakfast.

Do you guys think a bigger rear sway bar will be available? I don't want the bronco to push like a pig if I corner hard!

There’s currently no rear sway bar. So anything added is bigger

That's it deal breaker right there ???

so instead of being a d!ck, thought i'd answer OP. putting a strut tower bar on a body on frame car/truck would not affect anything as the body does not really affect the rigidity of the frame unlike a unibody car. for stiffening up the front end you'd look at sway bars and shocks to help stiffen things up. with such a large sidewall in the case of the bronco (like said above), getting a lower profile tire. would drastically affect handling.

2022 mall crawl edition will include a strut bar, rear roll bar and a wet bar.
