Did this come with a crash cut off switch ?
I'm going to have to supply an inertia switch. I have one from a Bronco II parts vehicle. Trying to decide where I want to put it. The Holley Sniper controls the fuel pump relay.Did this come with a crash cut off switch ?
So the 1 1/8" front sway bar I ordered came in yesterday, and after checking clearance between it and the strut rod, I can say it's tight! But fortunately no binding issues. I tested the clearance at several compression levels throughout the suspension travel, and the closest it came was 1/4" from the strut rod.Nice! Two questions.
What does the bump steer kit does? It seems to lift the rod connection. Do you have a pic?
Did you have any issues with binding between the strut rod and the sway bar? What diameter is the sway bar?

Took the car for an hour long test drive through the mountains and it was phenomenal. Virtually no body roll and incredible grip, but I could feel that my BFG radials were about at their limit, so it's probably time to start looking for some higher performance wheels & tires.
I'm using scott drake's sway bar. Normally I try to avoid their products, but this one seems to be decent quality. I was leaning towards an Addco sway bar, but my coilover manufacturer recommended scott drake's bar due to potential clearance issues with other brands.Which brand of sway bar are you using?
A 1/4" gap is better than what I have. With a 1 1/8" sway bar and Maier's suspension I am getting a hair of a gap. I still have not driven the car and needs to be aligned. I will approximate camber with an inclinometer and toe-in by eye before taking it for alignment. The suspension has adjustable coil overs. For now I will have it sit at 1" below stock. Hopefully this weekend I will know if I have binding on the road.

Hopefully the alignment gets you some more clearance. I would imagine the caster angle would have a pretty big impact on it. I'm also running about a 1 inch drop vs stock ride height.
StreetorTrack's full coilover conversion.Which coilover are you using?
Very true. I couldn't find much info on this specific sway bar's material other than the manufacturer saying it's a "high carbon steel with forged ends", so that leads me to believe it's some proprietary blend of 11 herbs & spices.Of course fitment is important! however the steel used is more critical.
If a person wanted to check just how good is the sway bar material used (most important) ? take it to a tool and die shop or a large machine shop. They can rockwell test the bar for hardness of the material used. If they used a non carbon steel? your going to have issues down the road.
These days they may add a little bit of COVID to make the sway bars stiffer.Very true.
