I've searched a few threads on proper positioning of the sway bar after a lift, but cannot determine if my sway bar position is too low and I need new sway bar links, or if I'm OK as is. I did an OEM spring swap in the fall - that firmed up the ride nicely but I didn't get the full amount of lift I was looking for. So this past weekend I put in a set of 3/4 inch spring spacers to get the amount of total lift I was originally hoping for of around 2 inches. Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions.
Thanks Pressurized - I appreciate the recommendation on the cheaper Rough Country links (vs. the JKS). My OEM spring swap gave me 3/4 inch of lift in the rear, so when I add the 3/4 inch spacer I'm at 1.5 inches of total lift in the rear. Given that the RC links are fixed for 2.5 inches of lift I'm inclined to go with the JKS adjustable links so that I can set them to a more precise fit for the relatively small price differential of $45. Agree? Or will the RC links will get me close enough that I'm pissing away money going with the JKS links?
I'm trying to get the right links now for my 2" lift, I think the stock rears to front will be to long with a only 2" lift, stock front approx 5.5" stock rears approx 8.75".
I think the JKS front and back is what I'm going with.
Its hard to find info on the length on most fixed links they always list for lift not actual length.
Tried the RK-1157 on the rear and they where to long, 11.5" and would have hit the stock rims with much articulation.
so my links need to be about 7.5 front and 10.5 rear with stock back spacing, of course yours will be different.
Will you tell me what springs numbers you changed from/to and the lift you had just from the spring swap before adding the pucks please. I have a 2015 Willys getting ready to install 19/60 springs form oem. Thanks!
Hi. I have the same set up going on on the 24th. Im going 14/55 to 18/59 plus the 3/4 spacer. What springs did you start with and what did you put in? Do you have any after pics you could share? Thanks a bunch.
I went from 13/56 to 17/59 and got 1.25 inches up front and .75 inches in the back. Then went back in and added the .75 inch spacers. Here are some pictures:
Hey not to hijack your thread but I was searching about this very subject. My front sway bar looks much like yours after going from 13/55 to 18/60 with a 1" Teraflex spacer up front. I just checked my front and it's -18*!! Is it dangerous driving around with my sway bars at the wrong angles? Am I going to cause damage to anything until I get replacement links? Thank you in advance!
