Anyone recognize this sway bar?


94 Ranger is getting leaf clamps, James Duff traction bars, rear shackle flip, rear sway bar if deemed needed. It needs to stay planted…
I did about 4” of lowering. Did the Explorer 8.8 in spring under with heavy leaf packs and leaf clamps, Explorer spring plates, moved the passenger side upper shock mount to the rear on the frame, swaybar, traction bars. Had to use an extended shackle to get out of frame notch territory because getting the front down on a 4x4 is difficult. Put the bigger Explorer front bar on. It stays super planted, I’ve had it in a 4-wheel drift (it’s currently AWD).
 
I seriously considered an Explorer or SportTrac 8.8, and adding a couple leafs. And a V8 Explorer radiator.
And then remembered that it is a 240+k mile 2.3/5spd rwd… I “could” easily go from tib to ttb, but, finding a 5spd with t-case for a 2.3 is proving difficult. I have a 1t 4wd c&c dually for that kind of work/weather. Don’t need another headache that badly.

Yeah, 2.3 4X4s are a rare thing, even when they were new. They exist, but finding one is almost like looking for hen's teeth.

That's what kept the 1997 one I have around so long.

Now to figure out how to ship it to Maine...

I have an 89 2.3 5-speed 4x4 parts truck, lol

I'll be in western PA in a week. I could pick it up and get it as far as South Carolina for you. Would that help?

Wait... isn't that the wrong direction?
