Sway bar w/ OME 3" lift on BJ74

[Malahki]

Started putting the Dakar OME lift kit in my BJ74 today. Got the back done with no real issue. Will have to get longer flex brake line though.

Doing the front tomorrow but I am wondering about the sway bar. Do I need to get longer connecting bolts on the sway bar to accommodate the lift? Or does it just rotate down (doesn't seem right)? Will be doing a lot of on road driving so I definitely want the sway bar.

With all the OME lift kits out there, surely some one has an answer for me

This is what most people use in thei 3" lifts around here, it's basically an aluminum block with longer bolts:

I'm usre you can get a local shop to fabricate something similar for you.

Called 4wheelauto, Dan is sending me a sway bar extension kit

I took the swaybar totally out of my BJ74 when I installed the lift kit. Handled fine on the road, and don't have to fiddle with disconnects on the trail. I guess the legality of that would be the question, but it certainly didn't feel like it needed the swaybar.

That's the easiest way to do it. Used them a few times on customer's rigs.

I agree with Stone! I had my 74 just lifted two weeks ago by installing extension shackles and Pro-comp es1000 shocks, it handled well and the guys who did it said that they don't normally need the sway bars.

My sway-bar is where it should be : Removed. On road handling is great with Heavies up front and Med. in the back. Off road my 74 Bow ties.

Where did you get your lift from?

I got the OME lift from 4wheelauto in Edmonton

Could I have a part number for those pro comp shocks?
