Default sway bars? flex problems?

i have a 1992 f150 custom 4x4, about as base as it gets. and i was wondering if they had sway bars in the front? there is none in the rear but i cant tell if theres one in the front, it does not look like theres one but at the same time it flexes like there is one, as in there is no front flex at all, all my flex is in my leaves the front literally flexed zero like i have a front sway bar hidden somewhere.

so i was just wondering if theres one hidden somewhere that im not seeing at first glance?
or does TTB just suck that bad?

All vehicles have front sway bars. Many of our trucks have a rear one. Mine does.

they controll body roll, keeping you from rolling over when you turn faster, however they severely hinder flex in the suspension.

if you drive on the street only, leave them, they are good,

i dailey drive my truck, but i dont want it because it hinders my off-roading ability, and im used to driving without them anyway.

My last 2 F150's havent had them. But i also dont want to spend over 180 ea. for spring/sway bar mounts.
