Starkman's Expedition - Big Red Elephant

[Starkman]

I signed up for that trip, looks like fun!

Did a run up to Bill Moore Lake. Big Red did great, the front sway bar is still connected and there is still 2" more up travel left on the driver side.

What kind of swaybar disconnects do you plan on using? As you most likely know, most upgrades that are available, if any, are geared towards F-150s. I still haven't seen any sway bar disconnects and have also thought about this. Will you also be disconnecting the rear sway bar?

 

[Starkman]

I may just take the bar off. I ran my Explorer that way for years and because I’m old I don’t drive too fast and never had an issue. I looked at using a link from a new Ford that has a ball joints instead of the factory straight style. Then I was thinking I could cut the shaft and put a collar over and pin it so it can be removable. Explorer Tom did that on his truck (IIRC) and it should work. I may just remove the rear bar, it’s really small and I’m not sure if it matters too much.

I never had disconnects on my Expedition. My Explorer had disconnects meant for a Jeep. But then I got rid of the sway bar completely.

It’s a play on words. We were in the Rio Grande National Forest. Southern Colorado.
