In my quest for better than average handling on my 2 WD 92 F 150 I have recently made some observations.
It appears that for some reason the 2 WD F 150 does not ever come equipped with a front anti sway bar. I noticed that many of the 4 WD F Series trucks and the Bronco Do, in fact come equipped with a rather beefy front sway bar. I can not help but wonder the following:
1.) It appears that the lower seat of the coil spring, (on the 4 WD vehicles), have a provision for a link that attaches to the anti sway bar. The anti sway bar then connects to cross member that seems to be present on 2 WD and 4WD frame configurations.
Could they be used, (after drilling the cross member to accept the 2 sway bar mount saddles), on a 2 WD truck?
2.) Has any one ever tried that modification?
3.) If so, has the mod been worth the effort?
In just one visit to a local bone yard I found one 4 WD Bronco and two of the 4 WD trucks that still had all of the hardware for the swap and at a very affordable price. It looks like a simple swap but I have not heard anything pro or con about that one.
