Title: Rear Sway Bar
Post by: Impact on October 25, 2009, 08:13:58 PM

Hey Guys,

I'm getting ready to put a suspension lift in my TJ and I'm wondering if it's worth getting extended rear sway bar links or if I should ditch it all together.

get em made or buy extended.  there are many times on a trail where you won't want severe body roll :D

Ive run both my XJ's without a rear swaybar and its been fine....I find it would be way to restrictive for flex when on the trail. Extensions would probably help that a bit though and allow more droop....up to you!

XJ's have rear leafs. TJ's have rear coils. Not really an "apples to apples" comparison  ;)

I think Fiend is right. Extended links won't really break the bank either.

so im pretty sure 3.5 inchs you can run the stock ones stil
