Quick question.

How quick do you guys disconnect and reconnect. I might be doing some thing wrong but it took a lot of effort and dirt in the eyes to get the Swaybar reconnected even on even grown/pavement.

Thanks

less than 2 mins

When disconnecting swaybar - Disconnect the drivers side first
When reconnecting swaybar - Connect the passengers side first

Hint - Adjust the brackets to hold the swaybar in place makes pinning it up out of the way much easier.

The old guy in the video disconnecting in less then a minute prior to picking up his SS check.

Mine were a bit tough until I installed the corect front swapbar drop bracket.... have you doen that if you're lifted ?

once that's doen it's 2-3 minutes on a level surface - and a noticable change offroad ....even my GF commented when we went thru a gully two weekends ago ....

phil how many people carry a camera to go underneath your truck to disconnect your sway bar? if that is normal then i don't know what to say! love your brackets by the way!!

hate to ask this stupid question, but just want to confirm: what is the thread pitch for the two bolts holding the brackets to the frame? I'm sitting here with a set of taps and don't want to screw anything up... thought i'd just ask.

A plug for phil's disconnects. i just fabed up a set last weekend since i had some scrap in the garage sitting and staring at me.... By the time you buy hardware, metal, cut and recut, measure and remeasure, crawl under the truck a few hundred times... You might as well just buy these that fit!

I ordered these earlier on a total impulse buy. I was really looking at your interior tire mount that I hope becomes available soon. I just picked up my first fj about a month ago and I'm way too excited about her. My suspension is still stock but I wanted to go play around in big bear and see how much flex she can handle out of the box. Would I need to do anything underneath before fully flexing with the sway bar disconnected? Like longer brake lines or anything of that sort?

 

[jtwopark]

stock lines are okay if you have factory lift....even with factory lift, if you get longer shocks, you will need brake lines. your factory shocks limit suspension travel

 

[mannyb1fz]

Awesome. Would it be okay to install j springs without modifying anything else as well?

 

[jtwopark]

shocks, swaybar drop brackets, castor, adjust rear brake proportion valve....at the least
