Hey Everyone,
My former sway bar setup was a cut and re-welded stock bar hooked to the POS RE gen I discos. It worked OK but they way it all hooked up my tires hit it pretty bad. Also the gen I discos sucked, rattled, and were a PITA to hook back up.(previous owner setup, nice quality work but not functional enough for me)
So after going without a sway bar for almost a year I got some JKS Discos for 6" lift(which I have) and a stock sway bar. The JKS stuff is a nice product for sure, works 400x better than the RE stuff. Now however I have a problem. My swaybar hits my bumper brackets and one of the bolts. Looking at the pic below would it be OK to use some JKS discos for a 4" lift maybe? I think that would bring the bar down enough to keep it from getting into the bumper brackers on hard bumps and the bar will still not hit the springs.
And yes my bumper brackets are a little hardcore but they, if it comes off it will have pieces of jeep attached to it LOL. If it wasn't for the large bolt I could shave down the brackets. The bolt however is the biggest part of the problem. It sounds like the whole front axle falls out when the bar hits the bolt lol.
Also I am not sure how stock my axle side sway bar brackets are. They don't look the same as some others I have seen but I have the only 97+ jeep in my group of XJ buddies. The jeep was lifted when I bought it but that was it, the gen I discos were even bolted together. Everything else is my doing.
