No rear sway bar disconnect needed

[LandCruiserPhil]

The rear sway bar could flex enough to allow full articulation of the rear but it would come in contact with the lower control arm bolt under full drop. A piece of ½” tubing 2 1/2 “ longer cured that. Now I have full articulation in the rear with the sway bar connected.

phil, i'm curious if the lowered mounting bracket has helped with anything. Just wondering because i have the 2.5 lift and have not lowered my bracket. I"ve noticed it's maxed out when i flex all the way, but wondering if there are any benefits to lowering this bracket.

Did you have to extend your rear brake line in the rear?

I don't think i had to, but i did for peace of mind and in case i go bigger in the future.

I'm not sure if you were talking to me or not ali

Concrete the spacer that you are pointing to is not needed with the extension of the rod. I took the photo before it was removed. The problem I had see #1 post was the sway bar coming contact with the bolt on the lower trailing arm.

Ali - I have more than 2.5" of lift and yes the brake line needed extending and the e-brake cable was lowered.

Junk - yes Big hungry mice, rocks, sticks, and small children
