4th Gen Disconnecting Sway Bar Set-Up

[BlackWorksInc]

Yes, but that's assuming the rear sway bar is limiting the suspension travel of the rear axle. I put extended links on my rear axle after lifting it, currently my tire gets almost completely wedged in the wheel well under flex (the bump stops thankfully prevent the 33" from ripping out too much of the inner fender/door) so my sway bar isn't limiting travel anymore.

Keep in mind our axle is solid in the rear so its only going to flex like a bar, where as the front is independent. Typically on most 3" lifts it seems extended rear sway bar links do a good job of not binding up the axle.

I have a pair of the front disco links and they don't really work right. Theoretically, when disconnected, you can rig up a strap to hold the away bar up and out of the way, but when connected, the links contact other parts of the suspension. More importantly, when disconnected, the remaining posts contact each other, preventing the bar from rotating up out of the way.
I told the guy I bought them from that I'd keep to tinkering with them, but having just bought a house, I haven't had the time.

so id assume you wouldnt recommend that set of front discos?

Back to the top. Someone more clever than I needs to make these and take all our money.

Does this mean with extended links you get good articulation Which makes a quick disconnect for rear sway bar unneeded.

I'm not entirely sure about that... but it dos seem like with extended links the axle isn't being limited by the sway bar in that respect?

Bit of a resurrection to ask that question. lol
