So I had an idea the other day to make my front sway bar kind of adjustable. I have a set of KYB coil over shocks from an old snowmobile laying around that just happen to fit the stock end link bolts. So I guess I was thinking about mounting one end to the top of the end link and the other to the frame. They're fully adjustable and VERY stiff. Does this sound completely stupid to anyone else or like it may possibly work?

And what would the point of this be?

Well I guess that's what I'm trying to figure out. I guess it would add some down pressure on the sway bar but even the ranger is quite a bit heavier than a snowmobile. I may just try it to see if it does anything and report back. Not like I'll be out anything.

My credo
Built not bought
Well on my 08 tailblazer ss I have the adjustable djm rear sway bar . It has two or 3 adjusting holes for stiffness rating built in to the bar . So maybe these may preform the same way . With me trying each going tighter the body roll got less but more ridged .
