Sway bar disconnect.

Sway bar disconnect.

I want to disconnect my sway bars for off road outings. I don't want
to buy any after market disconnects right now, just want to disconnect
when I need and reconnect when I hit the road. I need suggestions.
This is on a 95 YJ. Thanks in advance.

Greg

You can just unbolt it at the bottom of the connecting link and zip tie
or rope it to the shock tower top I believe, it doesn't take long at all
after the first time... Antiseize is 'highly' recommended on the
threads and pin when you put it back together.

A friend with his TJ did this all the time. On the TJ one side of the
bolt was a torx, the other side a nut. It was easy when I recommended
just 'holding' the torx side still and using the wrench on the nut...

Then he got those 'quick disconnects', LOL!

Yup. they disconnected 'quick' alright, but they 'sure' don't call em
'quick connects' for a reason. Sometimes he would need two extra people
standing on and/or holding up the bumper to reconnect the suckers.

Thank you very much. I will try it. Right now I am having a problem
removing the link. I got the nuts removed, but they are either really
rusted on there or there are other forces at work against me.

Thanks,

Greg

Well I just got the sway bar disconnected, and not to my suprise, my
31 " M/Ts rubbed the flairs when I took it thru a culvert near my
home. Well, I have been planning on ordering a lift soon, guess the
time is now! Any suggestions on lift height? I will probably at some
point run 32's, but for now, until there worn, 31's. Will two inches
be enough?

Thanks,
Greg

Re: Sway bar disconnect.

Two inch pucks will be plenty for your 31's to get flexy, 3.5" spring system
for 32/33's.

Re: Sway bar disconnect.

You could also put a 1" BL with 2" pucks and probably clear 32's.

I just came in from reconnecting them, and I won't be doing that again
anytime too soon. What a pain. I am worried about leaving the sway bar
off all the time though. This is my daily driver, and its not too
often I take it off road. Looks like I better get some disconnects
then :(

Thanks everyone,

On my CJ7, 3" was tons to fit 33's without tagging. A YJ would be
tighter because it starts off lower.

You can get several type of lifts for it. The most unstable and unsafe
one is a shackle lift. This does bad things to the geometry usually and
needs much mucking around with shims and such to get right. It also
stretches the springs flat quickly. The best is a spring pack replacement.

In between these are a simple re-arch of the springs and a re-arch with
a 'keeper' leaf in them. The Keeper is a larger (thicker) spring
already tempered into the proper arch for 'say' a 2.5" lift.

I blew out my rear spring packs so needed new ones. I went to a 'truck'
spring shop that does dump trucks and semi tractors because they don't
sell gold plated springs or use platinum wrenches so they have realistic
prices. 4x4 shops are bad rip offs that way.

They got new factory rear spring packs, took them apart and re-arched
them for 2.5" lift, then put a keeper spring as a replacement for the
first free leaf down. The then took off my stock front spring packs,
took them apart, arched them and put a keeper in there too. This 'all'
ran me under $500.00 installed and I had to buy my own new shocks to fit.

My 'glass body mounts about 1" higher than a steel one, so I have a bit
of 'body lift' on it. You 'can' put lifted body mounts in, but
depending on the rust level of the Jeep, this can be really expensive to
impossible without serious reconstruction. The body bolts have hidden
'nutserts' or weld nuts inside rails that spin out which makes for big
trouble.

Consider a 1" body lift to resolve your rubbing issues with the 31s. My
brother has a YJ with 31s and a 1" body lift, and he has no rubbing problems
at all.

To run 32s, you will want at least 2" of suspension lift and heavy duty
shackles, and probably 1" of body lift. Get the body lift today, and save up
for the new springs. DO NOT get ProComp springs when you are ready for the
new suspension.

I have a CJ with 2.5 inches of spring lift and 1" of body lift. I run 32s
and I only rub on extreme stuff, but I rub inside the fenders, not on the
flares.

Re: Sway bar disconnect.

I bought sway bar disconnects for my CJ, and found they were disconnected so
often that I took the sway bar off.

You must disconnect the sway bar at the axle end of the sway bar and pull
the sway bar out of the way and secure it with a bungie cord. It is a PIA to
align the holes to reconnect, so you will be wanting the disconnects for
Christmas, or you will simply remove the sway bar and leave it at home.
