Is the new sway bar setup a simple bolt on item to change a 2009 to the new setup?

Doesn't look like it Ruggo, the A-Arms are completely different. I wonder if those A-arms would mount on an '09? That would be pretty expensive though.

It's a good thought, but just doing the sway bar mod would be cheaper and probably much easier.

Yep..and besides..is it just me or does that set up look a little cheap compared to the '09 set up? I'm not digging the bushing alignment at the swaybar at all...but then again maybe that is a dealer set up item and they just didn't center the link before they tighted it down?

I agree, it doesn't look as sturdy. Whether that would affect anything, I don't know, but it doesn't look as stout as the 09's

It's interesting to look at some of the new stuff...like the rear suspension and see how they incorporated parts from other machines over the years into the newer machines....that new upper A-arm uses bushing,bolts ect from older machines...makes sense really..use what you already make where it fits the need. Maybe not 99% new anymore though...lol

Very interesting! Especially how they re-routed the rear brake lines.
