UMI Performance 1-1/2" Solid Front Sway Bar - Black (6579-B) - 2015-2020 Ford F-150
Transform the handling of your 2015-2020 Ford F-150 with the UMI Performance 1-1/2" Solid Front Sway Bar. Engineered for maximum cornering control and sway reduction, this extreme-duty front anti-roll bar uses solid heat-treated chromoly steel construction to dramatically increase torsional stiffness compared to the factory sway bar, helping keep your truck flatter and more composed during cornering, evasive maneuvers, towing, and performance driving.
The 6579 system is a complete bolt-on upgrade featuring a massive 1-1/2-inch solid chromoly sway bar, extreme-duty greasable billet aluminum mounting brackets, polyurethane bushings, heavy-duty 4-1/2-inch end links, and grease for the mounting components. Designed to work at stock ride height or with UMI lowering kits, it provides a serious handling upgrade for everything from daily-driven and towing applications to performance-oriented F-150 builds.
Maximum Sway Reduction and Cornering Control
UMI designed the 6579 Front Sway Bar to reduce excessive body roll and sharpen steering response. Increasing front roll stiffness helps keep the chassis flatter through turns, providing a more controlled and confidence-inspiring feel during highway driving, quick directional changes, and performance use.
The increased roll control can also benefit trucks used for towing, where reducing unnecessary chassis movement can contribute to a more composed driving experience.
Massive 1-1/2" Solid Chromoly Sway Bar
At the heart of the system is a 1-1/2-inch solid sway bar manufactured from premium heat-treated chromoly steel. The heavy-duty solid construction provides substantially greater torsional stiffness than the factory unit, giving the suspension increased resistance to body roll.
UMI engineered the bar for demanding street, towing, and performance applications where maximum sway reduction and flat cornering characteristics are priorities.
Extreme-Duty Greasable Billet Aluminum Mounts
Rather than relying on conventional mounting brackets, the UMI 6579 system includes heavy-duty greasable billet aluminum sway bar mounts. These precision components provide a strong and durable mounting solution while allowing the bushings to be properly lubricated for smooth, quiet operation.
A high-grade grease packet is included with the kit to support proper installation and long-term bushing performance.
Polyurethane Bushings
The billet mounting brackets work with polyurethane sway bar bushings to provide positive bar control while maintaining smooth operation. The greasable design helps minimize unwanted noise and supports long-term durability in demanding street and performance applications.
Heavy-Duty 4-1/2" End Links Included
UMI includes heavy-duty 4-1/2-inch end links as part of the complete sway bar package. The included end links, bushings, and billet mounts provide the supporting components needed to properly integrate the larger anti-roll bar with the F-150 suspension.
Works at Stock or Lowered Ride Height
The UMI Front Sway Bar is designed to work with F-150s at factory ride height as well as trucks equipped with UMI lowering systems. This makes the 6579 suitable as a standalone handling upgrade or as part of a more comprehensive lowered performance suspension package.
Direct Bolt-On Installation
The 6579 Front Sway Bar installs using the factory chassis mounting locations with no cutting or welding required. UMI rates installation as an easy DIY project that can be completed using common hand tools, making this a substantial handling upgrade without requiring fabrication.
Estimated installation time is approximately 1-2 hours.
Real-World Tested
UMI reports that the 6579 sway bar has been validated using its in-house test trucks and road-course testing. The system is engineered for race-proven durability while remaining suitable for everyday street-driven, towing, and performance F-150 applications.
Made in the USA
The UMI Performance 6579 Front Sway Bar is designed, manufactured, and tested in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania. The system is 100% made in the USA and combines American manufacturing with UMI's experience developing suspension components for both street and competition use.
