Them are fightin words.

just kidding. There are some pretty capable Bronco builds out there. There is even a guy the forgot to mount his rear portals and it turned out pretty good. Who would have thunk that.

@SierraBronco

I meant I'm not trying to build my Bronco to be more capable than my Jeep. I like that I can break something on the Jeep and take a month or more to fix it. Wife would kill me if I start doing that to the Bronco.

My goal is to make it so it can handle easier black diamond trails. Should be too expensive to get it there. Just have to make sure I can drive it to work on Monday.

No rear portals? What about the CLEARANCE?!?!?! Idiot

I did start my notes on the mullet build. Just waiting on the tone rings to show up to see if that makes the computer happy before posting it.

Rear clearance not required.

That does look more straight forward to zip tie.

Once you pull the bottom bolts and push the links out of the LCA, the bar will rotate up. Ziptie the link to the bar to keep it from dangling around

Stop kicking the can down the road and buy the BOSS links.

The Bronco is a horrible sports car with big tires. Don’t over think this.

Coming from a Ram 1500, the Bronco does handle like a sports car. Fast and much more maneuverable.

Wait till you drive any sedan or even an explorer. You’ll think it’s a GT3 car compared to the Bronco.

Point is, embrace the Bronco for what it is. The much smoother ride and increased articulation of the BOSS links far out weigh the slight increase in body roll and they are more noticeable.

If your priority is maintaining the factory ride of a 5k lb 4x4 with a lift kit on 35” tires,why are you even looking at this mod? Changing the stock Goodyears will be the most noticeable “mod” you can make.

I’m still a fan of just removing the front swaybar entirely. It’s not a big deal as long as you have a rear

Even though Sierra has 500 or whatever HP at the wheels, he and his wife have welded on another 1k lbs of unsprung and sprung suspension weight so their bronco's drive like dump trucks no matter

I actually should try this. I suspect I would not like it, even pushing to oversteer when I make that right into my nieghborhood at mph's a few above recommended...But maybe the yellow bilistiens and computer intervention would make it a non issue? That said unlike many, most probably, I drive my Bronco on the street hard. Driven normally, outside of "collusion avoidance" scenario's, would a sway delete really be all that noticeable?

Haha! While you’re correct, we pulled the front swaybar on the second bronco the first time we pulled it into the driveway. It had about 15,000 miles before the long travel suspension was complete. Drove wonderfully without the front swaybar.

And as it sits now, I’m trying to keep that bronco on the “lighter” side. Still only running a rear swaybar, but the a-arms are +5” with 17” of travel and the rear has 20” of travel. It corners just fine with our custom swaybar setup.

People have been doing that on Jeeps for a long time. Similar to the anti rock, you just get used to it. Maybe a little slower going around corners. Though I feel like if you're considering it, the anti rock would be a good choice.

I had one on my Jeep for over a decade. A little more body roll, but much better control off road. Take 90 degree freeway exits 5mph slower. They should make a dual rate, like the sway loc.

I really have no complaints about the tires. They ride smooth and I'd consider buying some take offs when they wear out if I can find a decent deal. I've only had it for just over 3 weeks now though.

Per one of my above posts, I'm not likely going to be wheeling it much, at least for the first year or so. So figure for now, my best bet is to just unbolt the sway bar when I do take it out. If I start wheeling it more regularly, then I'll buy the Boss links.
