Is there any data to back up the design? Any changes to roll center or geometry?

No Spam here!

I will see if I can snap some pics under the truck. It is a little hard to see because of the way the spare tire mounts and I have a hellwig rear sway bar installed also.

Installation was easy. The hardest part was drilling the frame - two 1/2" holes. Unlike the lightings, our boxed frames make it much more difficult. Not too bad if you take your time.

As for someone asking for roll center and gravity information...check out timskelton.com (if his site is still up). It is fairly simple to understand. Basically, our rear moves side to side when cornering. This kit prevents that from happening. I have felt better cornering, more controlled cornering....even at slower speeds, and far less body roll. My suspension is modified a good bit, but this piece really complimented it.

Randy Pethel...you shut your pie hole!

A one liner "plugging a product" just smells like spam. When photos and/or results are included it makes the post more "real".

I understand now. I guess I would have been skeptical too if I saw that. I was just excited about having it installed.

I will snap some pics this evening and get them up.

I'll get some of my green truck posted

Don't know about this specific item, but these do help a lot.

odd that the "cornergrip.com truck " is listed as a red s331....Pretty sure we have rules about not advertising your company on here

The S331 is the Cornergrip.com truck. The company has sent 4 emails to F150online over the past two weeks regarding advertisement or sponsoring a forum. No one will respond. Maybe this thread will help get a response.

Nothing is being sold here. No prices advertised. Just sharing that this part works, it works well. Some of the lightning guys on this site and another lightning website are running this setup....they love it.

And for those of you that have asked, here are the pics. Mine is custom powdercoated red to match the truck.

I love pics of mods, they really are worth 1000 words.

Allcarfan, I'm assuming your truck is lowered but their website the bar will only work with at maximum a 4" drop, how far did you go?

Thx
