Electric sway bar disconnect

[CrystalRedTintCoat]

$1300 is a decent price for the OEM electronic disconnect. This is the cheapest I’ve seen it new:

I added this to my Wildtrak. Easy install and easy wiring - did it in my driveway with hand tools.

Can you elaborate on the wiring? Did the necessary wiring come in the box, or did you have to buy wiring separately. I assume you had to fashion a switch of sorts to disconnect / reconnect.

I wired it to one of the aux switches. Here’s the wiring harness that you connect to it.

I recommend watching the StinkyFab video, that’s what I followed.

we did the same to our "wild-lands", except I got a lighty used disco from junkyard for only $100 delivered. By now they're literally hundreds of Badlands a few FEs and a few BRaptors in the junk yards.

Definitely the cheap way to go

Those of you with the electric sway bar disconnect. I'm looking for some opinions. Ford parts is running a sale on them for $1300. I daily drive my black diamond 4 door and am considering adding it. I don't want an aftermarket that is noisy. The rockjock antirock requires offset change. So it's offset plus anti rock which is pretty close in price.

I thought it would be great to add the electric disconnect until I talked to FORD and they gave me this:

SSM 51055 Adding/Removing Features Using Programmable Parameters Due To Vehicle Modifications

Ford and Lincoln vehicle owners may request modifications to their vehicle such as enabling daytime running lamps (DRL), adding navigation, changing tire/axle sizes, and/or adding trailer brake control modules. A list of programmable parameters that are available for alteration is shown in Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 418-01A > Module Configuration. Parameters available for alteration will vary by model and model year. If the desired parameter is not listed in the right column of the Module Configuration and Parameter Chart, alteration of that parameter is not supported by Ford Motor Company. A list of supported parts that can be added to the vehicle is available at accessories.ford.com. Adding/removing accessories and/or programming vehicle features is not warrantable.

They said they would add it but it would not be covered under my warranty as it is not an option for the Wildtrak

Does anyone have the shipping dimensions for the stabilizer bar? I know the part dimensions, but I want to know the shipping box size.
I want to order one, I'm using a freight forwarder so I need to know how much it's gonna cost to forward it to me.
