Yep, looking at a passive/kinetic roll setup a la the Citroen Xsara WRC car and Mitsubishi's Dakar Pajero before the setup was outlawed.
I think it's pretty doable.
One pair of hydraulic lines, one small accumulator wth a piston.
It basically unlocks the ARB's in articulation, engages them in roll all without the need for an accelerometer and pump/valve block assembly and electronics.
The only downside I can see is I reckon those bars will be to stiff, but I think I can modify the compliance with the accumulator and rams, much like you can change stiffness with a blade adjuster on an adjustable ARB.
Aren't both those systems devised from kinetic suspensions( I think its kdss now ) right here in southwest WA.
I remember going to Perth 4wd show in the early 90's and being impressed by their demonstrator on the test track.
Definitely a worthwhile project
Yep, a simplified setup, used under license.
