I removed my sway bar and links way back in 2015 I think. I love without. The only time I have noticed it getting floaty is at 170km/hr+ on a flat road. Offroad it's great and planted, quick abrupt maneuvers I have never had a sketch driving experience. Granted I'm no Kent Block, rest his soul.
Yea I’m chasing a rattle clunk and I’m 90% sure it’s the old shocks. No history of them being done but they look fantastic.

But yea the truck drives way better without them. I’m gonna pull the bar sooner than later

Are the 3.0's a straight bolt up or is there mods?
straight bolt on. no other mods needed. The front shocks come with their own upper mount hardware but everything else is reused hardware. I'm currently on stock leaf springs and stock upper and lower control arms. The ride quality is so much nicer compared to the garbage shocks the previous owner had, and compared to the last 14' raptor I owned, that one was completely stock as well.

Lots of different places
Full Race Radiator, fresh coolant and Motorcraft upper & lower radiator hoses this last weekend. Stock one developed a semi-random leak at the plastic tank, 203k miles seemed like a good time to swap the hoses as well. That lower clamp at the block was of course clocked at an impossible angle to get with any of my normal constant-tension clamp pliers (i.e. pliers or pliers at the "wide" pivot haha). Went to Autozone and got one of those cable-operated clamp pliers as I had seen used on redonKiLaus's detailed videos, they DID get the job done but just barely, they never would ratchet to the tightest setting but they did engage the clamp and get it loose enough to work the hose off. Radiator is beautiful, perfect fit and finish, wish you could see more of it when mounted haha!
