APEX DESIGNS - airLYNX - Ford Bronco Sway Disconnect
Adjustable rate sway bar end links that give you the ability to adjust the rate of your factory sway bar by simply airing up or airing down the links.
Once you find your preferred pressure (0-300PSI) you can either set it and forget it - or dial it in per trail.
airLYNX: How it works
The Apex airLYNX delay engagement to the stock sway bar when at zero PSI – they are fully disconnected for the first 3" of wheel travel – beyond the first 3” of wheel travel they produce a reduced rate of engagement (or force) that is being applied by the sway bar.
FOR EXAMPLE:
- 4” wheel travel = 25% Sway Bar engagement
- 5” = 35% SB engagement
- 6” = 45% SB engagement
- 7” = 55% SB engagement
- 8” = 65% SB engagement and so on.
Even when max articulation is reached the airLYNX are not fully engaging the full rate of the factory sway bar while at zero PSI. The more air you add to the airlynx the sooner your sway bar is engaged, giving you more control over how your vehicle responds in different driving conditions.
The delayed sway bar engagement of the airLYNX also adds a level of control because the sway bar is still active in the system applying force in rough terrain and sharp cornering. This control is much needed with IFS.
This allows you to tune the rate of engagement that your sway bar is producing by simply airing your links up or down.
More air pressure = more sway bar engagement all the way to lock out or full sway bar engagement
Less air pressure = less sway bar engagement. Better ride quality offroad and overall articulation.
Open & CLOSED LENGTHS
To confirm whether AirLYNX will fit your vehicle, cross-reference the open length, closed length, and external width against your factory sway bar link.
If those three dimensions match your OEM link envelope, AirLYNX will physically fit your setup.
This has been confirmed to work with:
- Ford Bronco
tune your swaybar rate (0-300psi)
Go up to 300 PSI when you're on the road to maximise your control.
Drop it to 0 PSI when hitting the trails to maximise your articulation.
MORE PRESSURE = FIRMER FEEL
Fine‑tune the feel for daily highway driving. Around 150 PSI is often ideal for highway use, and if you are rolling with a heavy set up like a canopy or a tub rack with a roof top tent, go up to 200 PSI for even more control when on the road.
LESS PRESSURE = SOFTER FEEL
At 0 PSI, the sway bar remains fully disengaged for the first 3 inches of wheel travel.
SMART DELAYED ENGAGEMENT
After that, it increasingly engages—offering both freedom for articulation and a measure of control, even in rough or fast‑paced off‑road conditions.
AIRLYNX REMOTE FILL KIT
Make your life easier with the Remote Fill Kit + Zero Loss Chuck, allowing you to easily inflate the AirLynx through a port on your bumper or bullbar.
This is a much easier solution instead of having to lay down underneath your vehicle with a pump to get your PSI rating back up to give you your optimum ride comfort.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The AirLYNX system is designed to give you full control over your sway bar stiffness to suit your driving conditions. It can safely operate anywhere between 0–300 PSI, depending on the terrain and load.
- 0 PSI: Ideal for off-road use — allows maximum articulation and comfort on uneven trails.
- 150 PSI: Great for highway driving — offers balanced stability and comfort similar to a factory sway bar.
- 300 PSI (Max Pressure): Provides full lock-out, replicating the firm handling and safe on-road manners of a factory-rate sway bar.
You can fine-tune the pressure anywhere within this range to match your preference and setup.
Even at 0 PSI, the AirLYNX still functions as a standard extended sway bar link, so there’s no risk of compromising safety or compliance.
No. Fitting an AirLYNX will not void your vehicle insurance. The system doesn’t alter or remove any OEM safety systems — it simply gives you the ability to tune your sway bar stiffness for comfort or performance.
Even if the unit loses air or is run at 0 PSI, it still functions as a normal extended sway bar link, just like products from brands such as Superior Engineering or Roadsafe. Because it maintains factory mounting points and function, insurers view it as a non-structural suspension accessory, not a modification that affects compliance or safety.
The AirLYNX system is classed as an extended sway bar link, which falls outside the scope of specific ADR certification. ADRs (Australian Design Rules) apply to vehicle systems such as braking, lighting, and occupant protection — not to bolt-on suspension accessories like sway bar links.
The AirLYNX maintains the factory sway bar geometry and load path, ensuring it performs the same fundamental function as a conventional extended link, even at 0 PSI. In short, no ADR approval is required, and the AirLYNX is fully compliant for road use when installed correctly.
Most twin air compressors only reach around 150 PSI, but the AirLYNX system can handle up to 300 PSI.
For best results, we recommend using a hand-held bicycle shock pump, which can easily reach 300 PSI and gives you precise control over pressure. These pumps are typically available from reputable bike shops for around $70.
For even easier inflation, check out our Remote Fill Kit with the Zero Loss Chuck.
This setup relocates your inflation point to a more accessible location — like your front bumper or upper chassis area — making it simple to pump up your AirLYNX without crawling underneath the vehicle.
The Zero Loss Chuck also ensures no pressure escapes when disconnecting, so whatever pressure you set is exactly what stays in the AirLYNX.
