I've tried looking this up, but can't find a consistent conclusion. Does sway bar angle affect ride quality?
I acquired my JKU while still owning a TJ and really liked the ride quality compared to the TJ. I installed the Rancho 2 inch sport lift with 5000x shocks. I was a little disappointed in the ride quality as it now more resembled the stiffer ride of the TJ. It's a secondary vehicle, so I didn't worry too much about it. It's been about a year, and I just installed some adjustable sway bar links to get the quick disconnect function. I extended them quite a bit longer than stock to get the sway bar level. I didn't even think about any effect on ride quality, but it really does seem noticeably smoother. As I think through the angles and suspension travel, I can make an argument that an increased down angle will send some of the energy from hitting bumps into the frame. Is this just in my head?
