Hey all, we here at 4WP Engineering have all kinds of new products slated for this year and we are closing out products we showed from last year. As we get some breathing room, we get some innovation time. One of our shop guys retrofitted a G2 DRS “dual rate swaybar” onto his bronco for some durability testing. I thought I’d give the Bronco experts here in this forum a chance to see what we are up to. Not all great ideas make it any farther than a sample, but this is something our Engineering team is truly excited about. So let’s hear your thoughts and ideas.

Great idea, is it an electronic disconnect or manual. There will be a big demand for something like that for the base Broncos and any other that isn't a Badlands with the hydraulic disconnect, hope you make it work as I would be interested for my wife's Wildtrack

That's awesome! What air source is being used? Are you going to offer a retrofit kit?

this is air actuated. Based on the JK JL part already available from G2.

The kit would be everything to replace the swaybar. The air supply would come from any on board air source or a G2 sway bar and locker compressor.

Air is pretty reliable. It’s pretty easy to fix on the trail. It’s my preference for lockers and such.
