sway bar drop brackets

[93xplorersport]

im thinkin of the rc lift abd u noticed it dont come with the sway bar drop brackets. where can i get them? or is there a kit thats not much more that comes with them.? im picking the rc lift because my truck is mainly a dd but i do take it off road and trail ride and mudding so i figured that would be my best option for the money. any advice is appreciated thanks

just ditch the sway bar, the TTB coils are so stiff you wont even notice it being gone.

well i was thinkin about sway bar quick disconnects but ok

I do run the sway bar on my '92 (6" skyjacker up front). I ditched the rear sway bar totally though. My springs aren't super stiff I guess, as a few times on the Interstate the Ex got kinda twitchy on uneven pavement when crosswinds were blowing. :/

Instead of a drop bracket for the sway bar (which makes it lower, and it the way wheeling sometimes).... I took my sway bar end links and made them longer, then installed pins with R-keys to disconnect it.

It does need more testing, but for now I only disconnect one side when I wheel.

i ditched my rear sway bar and used the links for the front. i bent them straight

i dont know if i should start another thread for this question but it still pertains to the rc lift so hopefully i dont cause a fuss. but ive read where people are complaining about the drop brackets hitting the axle. is there a fix for it like getting longer bump stops or what? also would 15 in longer radius arms for a ranger fit a x i figure they would but i wanted to make sure before the investment

I can't help you with the RC lift question (I don't run that setup), but I can tell you my Skyjacker kit came from a Ranger. The radius arm itself, as long as it came from a Dana35 (not a Dana 28) should be fine.

Unless you want me to try them for you first. lol

How would I go about making my own drop brackets? If I have I two inch lift do I need 2inch drop brackets or is there a better way to measure it

I had the sway bar drop brackets and one cracked over time. I found these sway bar quick disconnects from warrior products and they allowed me to remove the drop brackets.

Here is the link to Tellico 4x4 that carries them. I know they are a bit pricy but I liked them. I have a 5" lift with a 3" body. The link shows for 91-93 year Explorers.

Yup they work fine and the bar sits as it did when stock.

How do they disconnect?like at the bottom or top or the whole thing can come out?pic would be great if you happen to have one

Pin at the top pin at the bottom pull them out and the center bar comes out The ends stay bolted on. If the picture does not appear scroll up and look at the picture of them installed on my X.

I like them. I was going to remove them completely, but I have three kids that think its cool to ride in the X so I wanted another solution. So far so good.
