The BIG difference between installing one on a 2010-2012 vs the 2013 and up....
Is on the 2013 and up the bar is in a channel in the frame. This requires the Spyder to be jacked up much higher than 2010-2012 to get the bar out and back in.
Other than that... any difference on how it bolts on, etc should be easy to follow.

Sway Bar
I just installed the BajaRon Sway Bar last week. took all of 45 minutes tops. The real key is to ensure you have your RT up high enough. At 22" it was a breeze. Hardest part was removing the tupperware and my highway pegs. If it wasn't for having to remove my highway pegs and then re-install them I suspect it would have been 30 minutes or so. And I had never done one before and had really no idea but once you get under your RT it's pretty self-explanatory.

It different Bob. I installed both.
The instructions are just a little tricky.
I'll attempt a video after work to point out the bolts for you.

One thing I found, there are two splash panels just below the links. They're very easy to remove and gives better access to the bolts on the heim joints. Install is slightly different than it was on our 2010 RTS.

The bar kits are identical and the actual bar install is also identical.
The Tupperware, body parts and mount points are different because BRP moved the radiators between the 2013 and 2014/15 RT models. Moving the radiators makes the 2014/15 Bar Kit install easier.
The 2013 RT is probably the most difficult of all models for the sway bar install. Not that it is all that hard. It just takes more steps to get at the bar and more time to do the install.

The F3 is by far the easiest install of all with the exception of still needing to be lifted 18"~20". There is no Tupperware or other body parts to remove so you just do the bar swap and let it back down.

I don't expect that everyone will know all about each Sway Bar kit for every Spyder model. Like most things, there is more to it than a person may realize.
I believe that all the information offered here is sincerely meant to help. When bad advise is given it is simply due to factors that the poster was unaware of.
One reason I do not jump in on every thread about my products is that the information offered is usually very good. Since I can't really add anything to what a user is saying, I just sit back and marvel at the level of expertise available here on Spyderlovers.
When I do attempt to set the record straight I hope I do it in a non-accusatory way. I never mean to call someone out.
