The Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator are known for its unique styling, massive enthusiast community, and off-road capability through tough terrain.
However, FOX found an opportunity to improve the Jeep experience once the pavement ends. Manually disconnecting a Jeep’s sway bar dramatically improves comfort over trail obstacles but getting out of the cab and removing the stuck cotter pins are a hassle. Sometimes dealing with the discomfort is worth not wrestling with the sway bar end links.

The Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator are trail ready and automotive icons. With FOX, you can transform its ride through challenging terrain for more driver comfort by disconnecting the sway bar with the driver seat.
