Rear swaybar perm disco

BDS, ReadyLift, Smaxx... You name it, we know about it here.

While lifting IFS geometry decreases the vehicle roll... adding a body lift increases body roll.

Mike, I don't drive hard all the time, but I have certain corners on my commutes that I've honed in pretty well, and really enjoy hearing that low 'wuwrurururur' of the mud terrains.

I'm actually coming up on 50k on my second set of the KM1s. :twisted:

Sorry to revive an old thread but aren't there quick discos available for us? I can't believe that with all the discos that are available for other vehicles the we don't have something or at least have something that would cross over.

There are JKS quick discos that are made for a Jeep 07 JK that are direct swap, but for how long the rear sway bar sits its not worth keeping it there. You'll snag it on a rock and then be all disappointed realizing you spent $150 on links.

That happened to AlekG on one of the early TECORE trips. A little rock bent it up good.

06 was not a JK :poke:

Be real simple to build some if you wanted, but I would just ditch the bar since it hangs so low (:angry whip: not sure how long :angry whip:). Most of our articulation is in the rear, so I would try to maximize that.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.
