NOW AVAILABLE: BOSS "Walker Link" Sway Bar Shock System - Great alternative to disconnects!

[Baja Bronco]

Agreed, this looks the same as the UTV ones with a custom mount made by BOSS. Price I'm sure includes the mount as these are $400 for just the Walker Links. Be curious how long they last before needing a rebuild, looks like a great idea.

I don’t think you can compare (IMO) the pounding an X3 does in Glamis over a Bronco doing off road, but I had my links rebuilt by Walker after 2 years. Blew the seals. Cost was $150.

Thank you for the interest! After testing, we are pretty excited to release this product for those without a Badlands. We appreciate all the questions and feedback and will do our best to get more info out soon.



We will be getting the articulation numbers in the next few days. We expect that a full disconnect is going to yield more wheel travel, but it is often hard to get it reconnected. Also, these shocks are beefier than the stock links and improve the ride quality as well.



Thanks! It should work, but we do have a Wildtrak lined up to get this system test fitted.



We built the lower mount that bolts to the control arm, and the upper mount requires a machined bolt and custom misalignment spacers. The rear is completely different.



$495 introductory price with free shipping. Price includes mounts and shocks for both sides of the sway bar.



Exactly! Walker Evans developed them for the UTV market, but we worked with their engineers to adapt it to the Broncos. Often with UTVs you'll only run it on one side, but we determined that it works better on both sides and is still very stable.

Run it on both sides on my X3s. Didn’t really buy into “just needs one”.

Wouldnt these degrade rather quickly with no protection around the piston portion? I just imagine them filling with dirt and debris quick and in a hurry.

Very interested to see the actual numbers.

Any discount codes for pre orders?

Are the sway bar links the same for a standard front sway bar and the FSD? If so, I don't see why this wouldn't also benefit Badlands models.

I can see how that is a concern. There is actually very little shaft exposed at normal ride height and 1.5" stroke when fully extended. However, they are rebuildable, if need be. They have been used in the UTV market for 5+ years and have great reviews.

Any discount codes for pre orders?

Sorry, no code. The price is an introductory price with free shipping. The Walker Links alone are typically $405/set. We are only adding $90 for the mounts which require specially machined bolts and misalignment spacers.

We will be evaluating the use on a Badlands model soon.

We got some preliminary numbers today using a forklift to lift up the front passenger's side tire until the rear barely came up.

Measurements from the ground to the bottom of the tire (top of fork):
Stock links: 15.5"
Walker links: 17.5"
Disconnected: 19.0"

Our test Bronco is a 2022 2-Door Base-Squatch with stock suspension and tires.

can we use them with a sway bar discount?

This is basically the same part of the swaybar that the disconnects replace, so I'd say no.

 

[kodiakisland]

im usually in the desert so the disconnect is very situational and this might help with the handling in high speeds

I'm not debating the merits of a disconnect, as my swaybar is on my garage floor. What I am saying is this part and the usual disconnects are the same part of the swaybar, so it's either one or the other. Now maybe the bracket that attaches this device to the LCA could be modified for a quick release.

 

[7sKnuckledragger]

Interesting. Might just be one of the first things to go on my bronco here shortly

 

[IwannaGOfast]

can we use them with a sway bar discount?

The OP said they will be evaluating the use on a badlands (or first edition) model. In theory it makes since that these would help in higher speeds.

The sway bar disconnects that Kodiak is referring to are aftermarket options.

We will be evaluating the use on a Badlands model soon.

Why wouldn't these work for a Badlands and I'm assuming you would have one in the works to work with a badlands? How extended can these go for those who are pushing the limits of their travel. I actually plan on making my travel more then what a BRaptor can go to similar to like the APG ProRunner.
