ford bronco question

[chevyk5blazer666]

i have a ford bronco with a 6'in lift, and i want to know if the sway bar is needed. b/c the problem im having ,is with the tbs',(twin traction beams)when i go in reverse the hole front of the truck go's up, and it is really hard to steer , i think it is b/c of the sway bar. i don't have a sway bar on my k-5 and that thing is fine that also has a 6"in lift.
and the bronco spends half the time on the highways and half off road,
pls help lol,,,,,,,thanx

So when you put the bronco in reverse to back out of a parking spot the front end lifts up? Like an inch or so? or is the rear just squatting? Or...... maybe I am just not getting what you mean.
You can't really compare the chevy to the ford. Every suspension component is different. Swaybars dont provide lift or support in a suspension. All they do is limit the amount of travel from side to side. That is why vehicles articulate more when they are disconnected. A benefit off-road, a hinderance on-road.

Uh..........when you go into reverse the front end should go down, not up.

Well, you have to expect bad and/or random camber on a TTB system. (coil springs = good, TTB = bad)

Does it only do this in 4WD, or in 2WD as well? Are your hubs locked?

 

[chevyk5blazer666]

it dose it in 4wd and in 2wd ,it is a pice of sh!t , im gonna run it over with my k-5

I wouldn't do that. There is someone out there dumb enough to give you more than it is worth.

the only thing i want off the whole truck is the tires,

Have you tried to remove the swaybar?Does the front normally sit higher than the rear?Maybe the rear is squatting and unloading the front to make the steering light.

Is your track bar the right length to go with the lift. When you hit a bump or go over a hump in the road does it try a go anther direction (steering whel jerk)? Go back and look at all the brackets that would have to do with the lift and you will find one has loosened just a little i believe. Did you just put the lift on? or has the lift been on awhile and this just start? I think my friends son had to replace the track bar and do some steering correction to get his to steer right.
