Two questions:
1) Is there any other way to reduce body roll without changing the sway bar?
2) How hard of a job is it to change out the sway bar?

Sway Bar: 2 nut & bolt set-ups, possibly bushings and your done. Just make sure your arms are in the same position/parallele before bolting the linkage to the a-arms. I'm pretty sure that's it. A small amount of grease won't hurt either.

also to do the swaybar swap you have to jack the front sled up a little until the skiis are off the floor. You may need another set of hands atleast I did for part of it. Once I slid the new sway bar in you then put the stock plastic pushings on it that were on the old bar. PRoblem for me was that once I slid the bar in the plastic bushing on the other side would get pushed out and then I had a hard time getting it all lined up due to this. Once I had one more person watching the other end and holding it until I tightened the bolts it took me less than 10 minutes.

Tighten your front ski shock springs.....you'll decrease body roll but also increase ski pressure....I countered that by tightening the front track shock spring.
FWIW - I found that the stock springs are borderline too weak for my 05 Vector. I replace them with new every two years depending on how many miles I've put on.

Sway bar swap by myself took about 5 minutes. Two nuts/bolts to loosen then slide through, replace, tighten both nuts/bolts and your done.

Not meaning to change the topic, but don't rule out the Slydogs as they are a very good steering ski - great improvement over stock in steering effort.

I know this is a old thread but hate to start to new one. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with Mountain Tech Arm kit with the 13mm sway bar?
So Do I need to bother with it even? Is it over kill? Will I not have as true of independent suspension?
Debating wether it’s worth the money and messing with being my arms are not stock?
