My 91 Ranger doesn't have a sway bar? is it supposed to?

Some did get rear bars from the factory. Mine had one originally. From what I have seen of the old ones at the yards the supercabs got them, on any other body it was an option until the mid-90s.I've heard rumor of rear sway bars equipped on some Rangers from the factory.
Ya that would make sense. More weight to allow it to roll.Some did get rear bars from the factory. Mine had one originally. From what I have seen of the old ones at the yards the supercabs got them, on any other body it was an option until the mid-90s.
Even if it is a street queen it's not that important. I deleted mine when I did the Explorer axle because I didn't have U-bolts big enough for the tubes and I did have messed up links. I have yet to miss it and I try to drive it like it's a Formula-1 car.I'd say if its a pavement princess leave in there.
I didn't say 1995. Nobody said 1995. I think it was more like 1993 that they became standard.Very interesting never knew a sway bar was an option up until 1995...ill see if I can find a sway bar from a 91-92 in the wrecking yard.
Guess that explains why my 1999 extended cab has one in the back. If it's negligible having it, why is it even there? Does it do much on a solid rear axle?I didn't say 1995. Nobody said 1995. I think it was more like 1993 that they became standard.
Don't limit yourself to those two years. Front from 89-97 can be installed, can use rear bar from same years or later as long as you have the right size u-bolts for your axle. As said before there's a lot more info on those in the suspension forums. If you need more specifics it's on here....ill see if I can find a sway bar from a 91-92 in the wrecking yard.
I don't see why its being said that it makes a negligible difference. Years ago I installed the largest sway bar I could find (aftermarket 1.25") under the front of my 84 2wd. Truck went from being a boat (this was with new shocks) to riding riding on rails. The I found a 1" BII bar in the junkyard and it nearly had the same improvement again. That was on a 2wd with a much center of gravity and less weight. Higher COG and weight should have made for a better improvement, unless there is just too much sidewall flex, sway bars can't do anything for tires.Guess that explains why my 1999 extended cab has one in the back.
