Whats the distance between the lower control arm and front sway bar? I dont know if it makes a difference between years, but personally Id would like to know for the early cars. The reason I ask is I just got transferred to a different building at work, and now Im working on Fords again and currently Im tearing down a 2008 Navigator. In the process I, of course, always look for parts or ideas I can use on my car, a 65 Comet wagon. It probly goes without saying, but there isnt a lot in my realm of possibility, but one thing I did come up with is the sway bar end links. I thought they would be nice because they use a small balljoint at each end in place of the old standard rubber bushings, which would reduce flex making the sway bar more effective and responsive. The 'gator ends measured right about 5 1/2" between control arm and bar, no difference between 2 or 4 wheel drive. I cant imagine this is a new idea, but I cant say Ive ever seen anyone do it, and it seems like an easy way to upgrade the front suspension.
