Hey guys, I'm curious to hear if there are ways to balance the difference between front and rear flex / resistance to body roll.
SCENARIO 1: front anti-sway bar disconnected
The front is so soft that there is VERY minimal flex of the rear springs
Body roll begins to be the limiter once the front bumpstop is reached.
The rear leafs barely flex
SCENARIO 2: front anti-sway bar connected
The front is firmer, forcing the rear leafs to be the primary mover.
Body roll begins to be the limiter once the rear bumpstop is reached.
The front in scenario 2 flexs more than the rear in scenario 1 (closer to a balanced resistance to flex, but still way off from 50/50).
Heres my suspension setup:
FRONT (~4" lift):
stock anti-sway bar
metalcloak 3.5" dualrate spring
ADJ upper/lower control arms
control arm drop brackets
REAR (~4" lift):
no anti-sway bar
OME leaf springs with OEM rubber bushings
Perhaps this is why the TJ / expensive rigs have coils all around?
It would appear like a lighter, always connected, anti-sway bar could be the balancing solutions
