    I haven't wheeled with him but we've talked via pm a few times and seems like me and him have minds that race a mile a minute lol, he's got a ton of ideas! I'm really glad to see he's actually putting them into effect too! I'm hoping to make it to Moab next year! Too bad you don't live closer lol

    I am curious to see the technical aspects, I am in. A SAS in the VX would be a PITA. Throw in a disconnect for the sway bar, and voila, just about as good as it gets. You rock man!!!!!
    As for cladding rub...who cares, its just plastic

    I did think of one thing. I saw an amigo (jwood on the planet) we were trailing together at Uwharrie and blew the seal out of his power steering. That link for the steering only flexes so far and the seal leaks by, once that happens, its too late. Their setup is a bit different since they have SOTF, so it may not be a problem.

    Yeah, rack and pinion steering guys are going to have to be careful. But for VX and Troopers that wouldn't be a problem.

    I haven't taken the time to envision what this mod might entail...but in function it sounds like the exact opposite of a sway bar. Interesting...

    In my mind..., such as it is, you would have to interconnect the torsion bars, so pressure from the wheel moving up would cause the opposing wheel to move down...

    Strictly a WAG on my part...

    I think IF I had a concern, it would be long term effect on the bars themselves. I can't wait to see the install and when he gets a kit done.

    Then I would have a reason to drop the 400 bucks on HD torsion bars from Indy4x

    Another thing I thought of while reading through the thread and those mentioning the rough ride. The factory shocks are probably the worst for rock crawling style offroad. I set my ranchos to 1 when on the trails, no rough ride. I have forgot and left them on 9 on a few times, only takes one set of bumps, and I am jarred into remembering. They also reduce your performance on the trails, too bouncy means possibility of tires leaving the ground, and possible loss of traction and worst case a broken CV joint....just a thought for those looking at buying new shocks.

    I think you've stirred some interest, now how about teasing us with a great price!
