It’s my understanding that the bronco is built on a modified version of the ranger frame. Would love some measurements to ensure this would “bolt up” to the ranger frame as I plan (hope) to do exactly the same thing on a factory rocker switch on the dash in the ranger.

    good work guys looks great, love the room you leave so you can get a wrench in the back. I do have a question, would you be willing to make one of these brackets without predrilled holes? I got tired of bad bushings and couldnt find another bushing for my aftermarket track bar so I cut and welded on a heim. the heim is 3/4 x 5/8 with adapters for a 1/2 bolt. i suppose i could just ream out the predrilled holes but wanted to see what you guys thought as I wouldnt want two holes just one larger.

    The ranger raptor has more in common with the standard bronco than the bronco raptor. The entire front frame and suspension sections are the same as far as we could tell from the Ford 3D models. The badlands disconnect would likely bolt right up. No idea if the braptor one would or not.

    You are a genius. I have the Bronco Raptor and hate that I have to be in 4 wheel drive just to disconnect. A lot of trails where I’m at in the Rocky Mountains benefit from the sway bar disconnected with ruts and rocks, plus gives a more plush ride, but hate that I have to run around in 4 wheel drive just to disconnect. 🙄 Just ordered the wiring harness in your description. Going to keep all the factory wiring as-is so I can just plug back in and be back to stock, but do the wiring up to the AUX switches so I can disconnect whenever I want. Curious if you’d know if I might throw codes? 🤞😅

  • @stinkyfabracing
    @stinkyfabracing7 ай бұрын

    I would be surprised if it didn't throw some kind of code, but it might depend on how you hook it up. If you unplug the entire assembly the computer will probably throw a code because it's not getting feedback from the sensors. I wonder if you left the sensors plugged in, while bypassing the solenoid wires what would happen. My guess is that when the sway bar is connected all will be fine, but it'll probably throw an error when you disconnect. The real question is will the error clear when you reconnect?

    The stabilizer has its own sub-harness that goes from the one big plug and splits to the 4 plugs for the solenoids and sensors. For your setup it might be better to find the connectors for the solenoids directly, rather than the one i used that connects to that sub-harness. This way you could just unplug the solenoids and then plug your new wiring in without cutting anything.

    Did you happen to measure the amount of extra travel

  • @stnkbg1
    @stnkbg17 ай бұрын

    That's not really something you can easily measure. The sway bar does not limit actual travel, it limits articulation. The front tires will still travel up and down the exact same distance, the difference is how easily one side can now compress while the other extends. With a standard sway bar (and with this one connected) both sides are joined by the sway bar. The amount of articulation you get is a product of how much load you put on it and how much the sway bar flexes. You'll get more flex on a downhill with all the weight on the front of the vehicle for example. With the disconnect the sway bar is no longer fighting that articulation.

  • @stnkbg1
    @stnkbg17 ай бұрын

    ​@michaelnice4753 i didn't, because that's not a very relevant measurement since it will vary with loading. The suspension was never fully compressed in either lift, and even just lifting front vs. Rear gets a different height because of weight transfer. I can say that after disconnecting i was able to lift roughly 4-5 more inches on each end after disconnecting.

    Great detailed video… I have a Wildtrak as well and would like to do this. Besides the flex test is there any way to know it is disengaged or rather engaged? Can the swaybar re engage at any angle or does it have to be on level ground?

  • @stinkyfabracing
    @stinkyfabracing8 ай бұрын

    It's pretty noticeable in the roll characteristics when you're driving, but other than the switch position and light on the switch there isn't any indication of if it's engaged or not. You can turn the switch off the switch any time, and it reconnects once it gets to the "level" position. You don't have to be on flat ground to re-engage, but it won't actually reconnect until the suspension gets back to center.

    Yes. The bottom edge is flush with the frame rails, so there will actually be a small gap between the bottom of the bumper and the stock metal "skids" similar to the one shown during most of the install. I use quotes because they are so thin as to not really be skid plates at all. The skid shown at the end of the video is the one we designed for this, and the plastic bumpers, which comes all the way forward.
