Has anyone experimented with firming up the ride of their Sasquatch via suspension, wheel setup, or both? I don’t plan to do any extreme crawling, hit rough roads like 15 days year, nothing that needs much articulation, and mostly got the Sasquatch for clearance for flooding in my area. But I do have some windy highways that I find myself avoiding because of the Sasquatch’s lean on curves.
Since the sasquatch Broncos are lifted, this bracket helps correct the rear track bar geometry and give you more stability:

I bought yours but haven't installed yet. Do you have a minimum coilover collapsed length to use it? Rockjock has a similar riser and my coilovers compress too much and will cause the trackbar to impact the frame according to their chart.
Our bracket has a little more clearance due to the rounded shape. We measured our stock 2-door sasquatch suspension at 22.25"L at ride height. Currie says 18.15" min. collapsed length for clearance, so that would equate to 4.1" of clearance needed, and we have 4.5".

Ahh if that is the case, then the OP just needs to add the rear sway bar and the problem is fixed. Let me edit this post in a minute with the part numbers.


But OP needs to visually check and check that he has the mounts to accept a sway, early Broncos did not.


Part NumberPart NamePriceQuantityTotal
NB3Z-5A772-AStabilizer Bar$100.421$100.42
NB3Z-5C486-BStabilizer Link$59.122$118.24
W712045-S439Stabilizer Clamp Bolt Plate$3.054$12.20
W712334-S440Upper Mount Nut$0.564$2.24
W721710-S450Stabilizer Clamp Nut$4.274$17.08
W712503-S440Stabilizer Link Nut$6.714$26.84

I ordered from Levittown Ford. I know Ruxer is good too. The Honey plugin gives me 50% off shipping at Levittown.

EDIT: If the OP does not have the mounts, the Belltech sway bar works.

Thanks for this. Is there any user feedback on adding the rear sway to a 2 door? I did a quick search of the forum but didn’t find much.

Edit: this is a good thread for info https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/rear-sway-bar.53649/

Body roll is insignificant compared to dive and squat.

Not being able to embrace a lil body roll with a factory-lifted off road vehicle is akin to wanting an Italian girlfriend and not being able to embrace gabbagool.. or hearing red-sauce get called 'gravy'...


Yer gonna have a bad time.

If you don’t need the articulation, what’s the harm in reducing the roll? I’d like to think of it as getting an Italian gf and teaching her how to make a nice croissant as well 😆

yes of course
you have strut tower brace and yes sway bars avail
you street ride quality will go way up but your flexing avail will go way down

Thank you. I’m ok with that as I’m not doing any high level crawling but have to white knuckle the twisty, narrow-laned Taconic Parkway several times a month

Wild ass guess but maybe the Raptor front disconnecting roll bar is a higher stiffness. That would obviously improve roll without making suspension too stiff.

That’s an idea. I wonder if it would fit on a 2 door sas tho, I’m assuming the components and spacing are pretty different

You could just raise your right foot when you're on those roads that should ease the body roll. My previous Bronco a base sasquatch had no issues with body roll. I also grew up in the era of land yachts talk about roll on windy roads and hard turns. Some of the things other posters recommend will help but a truck based off road vehicle is still a truck based off road vehicle.
