A quick and easy way of gaining 15% more articulation based on our testing.
https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/786983-front-swaybar-quick-disconnects-revisited-tested.html <updated link
Installation Time on kit: 10 minutes by most, using basic metric hand tools.
Included in the Kit: Everything in the photo.
2 – brackets
4 - 10.9 grade bolts and lock washers
1 – tine pin
1 – safety wire with attached hitch clip
2 – clevis pin with safety clip
Installation Procedure:
1) Remove the two nuts and bolt holding the swaybar to the axle.
2) On the passenger’s side slide the wire ring over the swaybar to avoid loosing the pin.
3) On the driver’s side, install the clevis pin and attach the safety wire.
4) Directly above where the swaybar attaches to the axle are two threaded factory holes in the bottom of the frame. The bracket installs there with the tab facing to the rear and the tab facing outward.
Installation Tips: Reconnect the passengers side first will make the reconnecting easier.
Disconnecting and reconnecting time required:
Less then 2 minutes with no tools required.
History on the Development:
I designed these swaybar disconnects back in 2004 and ran them without issue for a couple years. Fast forward to today - slightly redesigned, but they work on the same original concept.
How Do They Work?
By pulling a pin and unlatching a clevis with a safety wire the front swaybar is freed up and then reinstalled (with the new hardware) out of the way on the new bracket.
Precautions:
Most FZJ80s with over 3 inches of lift with need aftermarket swaybar spacer to avoid contact with the front driveline. Since not every 80 is set up the same, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you disconnect your swaybar, pin it in the disconnected position and raise your 80 from the center with a hi-lift or equivalent to make sure you have the needed driveline/swaybar clearance.
NOTE: If you don’t have swaybar spacer with a lift you, should have them with or without disconnects for optimum performance.
Swaybar spacer are available HERE in the for sale section or from most Land Cruiser outfitters.
