Ford Bronco II Sway Bar End Links

[4.0B2]

It's a jeep thing... Most Jeepers never disconnect the rears. Just the fronts. Google JKS quick disconnects and you'll see some pics of it done on solid axle rigs.

they make different types, but basically, they look like this. my buddy had some on his CJ, the word "quick" did not belong anywhere near the word "disconnect" though.

They ain't that bad.. Just remember, they are quick disconnects.... Not quick reconnects.

Looks to me like you could do the same thing on a TTB/TIB front suspension. Just use a large clevis pin, like one for a tractor, in place of a bolt on factory end link. Unfortunately that won't work on an SLA set-up as its one long bolt with two bushings on either end. Something else could probably be rigged up might have to check into it someday. Most of the offroading I do doesn't seem to be hindered to much by the sway bars.

I don't see why you wouldn't want to be able to disconnect the rear if you are able to disconnect the front. Something like that set up would probably be able to work there as well.

you want some body lean control on your rig when rock crawling..

and you can make some homemade quick disco's... plenty of people have done it, even on here if you look around.

are there disadvantages to not running the links? I have an 86 BII with 3" suspension lift. my links front and rear are somewhat noisey and I have thought about putting new bushings in them, but havent yet.

better chance of rolling the vehicle without them

Yeah it's gonna be less stable. That being said, I ran my b2 without front or rear connected before and it wasn't bad, I just drove smart.... But my suspension is real stiff to tho... I wouldn't recommend it honestly.

i think you're safer to do it on a TTB rather than a wrangler or CJ suspension. the TTB is so stiff as it is, especially if you're running TTB lift coils

I'm on a 2.5" lift without sway bars, like mentioned above be safe in corners. The truck leans a bit at high speed but isn't terrible. If it sat any higher I'd start to worry.
