Finally after all these years the drift truck is going to have a sway bar! Is it going to be way to stiff and ruin the handling of it? Maybe! Will it be too soft? Also maybe! But hey, it’s looking cool.

It does seem kinda big, but hey it's not like this is the only swaybar in existence, give it a try. You make so much yourself now, the sky is the limit!

Exactly! This one is very large but it is hollow so I’m hoping that evens out. It’s an oem Ford Explorer sway bar lol

Manny

Any plans for a rear sway bar as well? Or only the front?

Fun fact: torsional stiffness (most of what's important for sway bars) happens almost exclusively on the outside of a tube, so the material filling the center is pretty much irrelevant to the mechanical properties in this application... though the bends for the arms and stuff make a difference with this kind of bar. If this were a splined bar with bearings right by the arms, then it could be very hollow without affecting the stiffness too much. Most of the reinforcement you'd have to have would be right where the bearings are, cause the force isn't perfectly torsional, though you could have the center section very thin. That's why driveshafts have such thin walls, also.

With the welded diff, you'd have to be careful how stiff a rear bar you put in because contrary to what most people expect, rear wheel grip is everything in drift. Some rear roll control is good, but it can't overpower the front or you'll end up slow and difficult to control.
