sway bar delete opinions thread

Tell that to the testing team that designed this truck to run the Baja. You wouldn't make 10 miles.

Guess it's a good thing I don't run in the Baja then, huh?

And I'm sure the same goes for the RPG Stage 3. Since it wasn't designed by Ford and didn't run the Baja it's probably a ************* idea and shouldn't be done to the truck either.

Yes, I know trophy trucks run sway bars, but do raptors run 130mph through desert whoops that would eat a standard sedan whole? If you're driving your truck hard enough in the rough stuff to damage it with the sway bar off, you'd damage it with it on too, it doesn't make that much of a difference, there are much weaker parts on the truck than those the sway bar directly interacts with

Y'all. Don't get your ******* wadded up. The only I'm doing is stating facts. Most of us here are adults and paid big american dollars monthly or all at once. I'm not saying don't do it. I'm indicating realistic information. Not one of you said anything about warranty coverage. I have no idea how everyone runs their rap. I know how I run MINE. I know if I ran mine without one,I'D be doing damage control.
If you want to roll up the *******,lets talk about the owners that actually believed this was an out of the box worx truck and ended up bitching and moaning because they bent the frame.

so you think that removinh the SB will be bad for the front end since it will cause some damage, so what about gussing the grame at the front.
just need either bold or welt a metal bar where the swaybar used to be so will add rigity to the frame.

I've had a steering box and both front shocks replaced under warranty without a sway bar. If you're worried put it back on before you go to the dealer

I've had the opportunity to run a ton of different setups on the Raptor and sometimes the sway bar feels good, and sometimes it doesn't. for a mid perch or higher setup with OE shock, I preferred the sway bar disconnected. With a single Fox 3.0 I actually prefer it back on because of the softer spring rate than stock. With the dual setup, we don't run one and nor would I ever want to. Either way it's all preference. You aren't going to hurt anything with it off and I have yet to hear of a warranty claim denied because of one being disconnected

With it disconnected you will notice the front will wallow more and feel a bit more free. But if you go with it and let the truck track without fighting the wheel I think most will come to enjoy the more independent feeling of it being removed.

Do you know for a fact that they ran a sway bar on the truck?

I could be wrong but I dont think they weren't running the same lower arms at the 1000 as the production model

 

[1stSFG]

They ran five trucks, each set up differently. Three had sway's up front,one had sways front and rear and one without.

Hey why is nessesary to align the truck after mid perch and swaybar off
I have not align mine, because i dont care about the tires wear in an uniform way
Why do you align the the truck?
Better steering response
To not strees the pivot points
For what reason do you align the truck
