I really like this method. Highly recommended if you can pull it off. I even had a customer go down the street to a neighbor and ask, knowing they had this equipment. It's worth a try!

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Baja Ron's new Ultra Sway bar is great! Easier to install, too!

It would be a shame to miss out. Maybe wait and see if the new neighbor can help? :joke:
But if you purchased from us. Yes, of course it can be returned.

One of the keys with this method is ramp spacing, you need to have your wheels positioned as close to the inside of the ramps as safely possible in order to access everything. If your wheels are on the outside of the ramps you will not have enough room to maneuver even if you have the proper height.
And remember to take your tailgate off so you do not damage the hinges.

I bought from another vendor. I'll get it sold locally, then use a cut off wheel to get to old one out.
Or use a Tundra for your pick Up. Loaded Our Polaris Ranger many times. Ranger with me in it weighs well over 1,000 Lbs.
However, I do recommend Jack Stands as a safety measure when you get under the vehicle.

I think my Ultra was about $15 more than the 1 piece bar.

It's usually listed on Baja Ron's Facebook "store"

or easier yet, just call Ron's shop (423) 609-7588 - they'll hook you up. I put the ultra-bar on my '18 (I'm a 260lb driver) and still had to add his front shock pre-load adjusters but the combination has been fantastic. I also used a $100 Harbor Freight or Northern tools ATV jack and a large block of wood to lift my Spyder (and others) high enough to R&R the swaybar. Easy peasy.

You are correct and I apologize. Demand for the Ultra-Bar has kept our fabricator very busy. We have them in stock, but I have not put them on the Home Page Banner Ad site yet because keeping them in stock has been Nip & Tuck. (When's the last time you heard that one?!)
I will probably be putting them on that page later this month. Once I have a comfortable supply on the shelf.
You can always call the shop at 423-609-7588. We are having some phone trouble with our provider and the answer message is not currently working. So, if you get that, it means both lines are busy. You can try back or email at [email protected]
We are 8-5, M-F, Eastern Time Zone.

Come back and talk to me if that tundra reaches 24 years old like my truck is, no way I am putting that weight on my old hinges unless I wanted to buy new ones.
Put an Ultra bar on a couple days ago and really happy with what it has done to the suspension. When my shocks come in it'll be a beast.
Question though: The instructions mentioned thin and thick spacers for the end links - but my BajaRon end links only had 8 identically sized spacers. Case of outdated instructions or what? The thin spacers seem to be working fine and the end links didn't seem to bind anywhere.

The 2008-2012 Spyders take thin and thick spacers which have a specific orientation. 2013+ Spyders take all thin spacers. Some of my vendors supply their own instructions. That may be what you ran into.

Today I installed my new Ultra Sway Bar that I ordered from Spyder Pops for my new 2023 RT Sea To Sky. The install took me some time, but it went well otherwise. I had to lift the front end of the Spyder to get it up to the 24 inch clearance that I needed to remove the OEM sway bar. The way I did this was, lift it with my Kioti tractor bucket loader with the fork lift attachment. I lowered the forks at ground level on the garage floor. I then drove the Spyder onto the forks to the front of the loader bucket where the fork lift bracket attaches to the bucket loader. I started the tractor and carefully lifted the Spyder keeping the forks slightly angled up so the Spyder would stay positioned to the front of the loader bucket. I made sure to lock the hydraulic control lever on the tractor and secured the loader bucket and the fork lift arms with jack stands. I also put wheels chocks on the rear tire for added safety. It looked a little scary at first, but it worked out very well. It sure made it easy to do the work needed under the Spyder to get the new sway bar installed. Once completed, I took the Spyder for a test ride and was very happy with the performance of the new Ultra Sway bar. It really is an improvement over the OEM sway bar for handling and control.

Baja Ron Ultra!
I will admit I was a little skeptical about the benefits of a new sway bar. I have a 22 F3L and often ride with a buddy that has a ‘15 RT. When he’s following me he remarks about how much less lean my bike seems to have compared to his. So I thought I had it pretty good.
But, after reading a lot of posts here, I decided to try the Ultra bar based on our 2-up usage (and the combined weight
). After just one day all I can say is WOW!
Somebody on here said this should be the first upgrade anyone makes.
Amen! It’ll be some of the best money you’ll spend.
