    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    The fine print on that about end links:
    Swaybar does not include new endlinks. Factory Ford endlinks are available in the drop down menu above if your originals are worn! We do not suggest anything but original as aftermarket endlink bodies may be too large and rub the spindle.

    You can also take a look at Addco Sway Bars. Many members have installed them with great results.

    The Addco also reduces body roll and significantly tightens handling.

    This is true... Funny thing is my 03 has Moog and they never showed signs of rub, I did the exact same setup on an 04 and the Moogs rubbed so we went with OEM and the issue was solved. My 03 didnt have lock collars installed the 04 has them. Never figured out why the 04 with collars and Moogs rubbed

    yes it is a larger sway bar, ask if it has collar locks so it stops the sway bar from sliding left and right. I bought my locks at grainger and another set off ebay.

    Recommend the Addco solid bars for the front and rear.

    Sway Bars – Addco
    Front – 2196 (1.25” diameter) - Solid
    Rear – 650 (1” diameter) – Solid

    Greaseable Sway Bar Bushings - Energy Suspensions
    Front – 9.5165 or 9.5172
    Rear – 9.5161

    I believe the Addco bars come with the collars.

    NOTE: you will need some modifications to make the rear greaseable bushings to work. Here is a link I posted on the modification.

    https://www.mercurymarauder.net/foru...ad.php?t=93480

    If you already haven't, upgrade the upper & lower rear control arms and Watts link (I used Metco parts). Once done you'll have a Marauder slot car.

    So the Addco's rears don't come with greasable bushings?

    Addco bars can be hard to get. They don't run them regularly, some sites like summit, jegs may have, but often drop ship directly and you keep getting delivery dates pushed back. Addco had an issue when they moved to FL a couple years ago.

    When I got mine - picked up from their facility in N.C. - they had poly bushings but not greaseable.

    last i checked, you buy addco and you will get the bar. No mounting hardware and no pads. No collars, no end links.

    I am sure there are many threads, this is why ADTR made their own because of complete lack of support from addco.
