They would have to limit flex more than oem , if I was setting up for maximum flex I would be looking at disconnects even if I was using oem

Any opinions on the Whiteline bars vs the TJM both available in 30mm?

That does look a lot like a whiteline bar. Forged ends and no rings welded to the bar to keep it from moving side to side. They say welding ruins the heat treatment.
I can only tell about Whiteline's. Both brands are of good reputation, therefore either one are safe bets (BTW, as Den says, I wouldn't be surprised if Whiteline is OEM's these for TJM...this industry is increasingly incestuous...).
Duiser sells only reputable, quality stuff and being TJM's rep, I wouldn't hesitate to ask him directly with your concerns/expectations.
Cheers

Anybody get the 30mm Rears? I'm looking at getting both for my rig. I'm running Kings/4" Comp/35" Wheels and with drawers/bumpers/fridge
in the future. Right now I feel like my rig is super unstable, but then again I should't be driving it like a car at speed

i added the extra heavy duty to the front ..it made a noticable diference to body roll ..i also added the heavy duty to the rear.(not the extra heavy duty) and didnt notice any improvment..i should have went the extra heavy duty
I have had the heaviest on order since July.... I finally received the front but the rear is still MIA.
I did the same a year or so ago, but I recently switched back to OEM for the ends, they seem to fit better.
YMMV
curious if anyone else out there has gone from a stock rebuilt swaybar setup to the whiteline bars and if they noticed an improvement in on road handling? For me in my 80, the on road performance is equally important to me as most of my driving is overland and family camping trips. I saw a big improvement when I rebuilt my swaybars in the cornering on mountain roads, wondering if it can even improve more with some whiteline bars but don't want to spend the $$ if it won't make much of a difference.
In my opinion, the best way to do this would be to go to a stiffer swaybar for on road performance and then get LCP's swaybar disconnects for offroad.

from what I have seen you really don't gain too much from swaybar dc's on these rigs. I think I will just stick with the stock swaybars. I just don't see the benefit for heavy duty swaybars like these unless you are really loaded up. I can see them being popular in australia as those guys sometimes carry lots and lots of gear into the outback. I am guessing that is where these have their place, on extremely loaded up and/or top heavy rigs.
Having a sports car as a DD is enough for me to appreciate the feel that stiffer sway bars might give the 80. This is true especially if you see more time on road than off. Not sure why more don't take advantage of these parts.
Just ordered the Whiteline Btr46x Rear Sway Bar as having no sway just isn't going to work in the 3link. Will let you know what I experience as soon as I get it.
Yes, please do as I'm dying to reduce the body roll with the RTT up top, sitting on Slee 4" springs! $251, ouch!!
Update: Installed the Whiteline Btr46x Rear Sway Bar today. I went from no swaybar with the 4Wheel Underground 3 link wich was almost deadly to drive at 60 MPH to now an easy to drive lifted SUV. I used MetalTech's sway bar drop bracket along with ManAFre's extended sway links. Together, they drop theswaybar 5" or so required to position the swaybar in stock location. Overall, happy with the purchase.
I also went this route. I thought it was one or the other. On a 4" lift, this seemed to look proportionate to where it should be. I'm glad there are others that share the same experience.
You can get 15% off the BTR46X rear sway bar from Whiteline right now using the coupon code: FRENZY. Not sure how long that will last.
Looks like it's sold out again, but if you email them they will put you on the list for when more arrive (supposedly early June).
