XJ Sway Bar end links
« on: March 09, 2012, 09:42:48 AM »
Good day,

I have a 2000 xj with a 3" rustys lift.  I have snapped the drivers side sway bar end link twice now doing very light offroading and street driving.  I have bought just the cheap no name units.  Do I need longer end links because of the lift?  Do I need to cough up the cash for the upgraded removable endlinks?  Any help would be appreciated.

You do need longer sway bar links that are sized for the lift, JKS disconnects are nice but not 100% needed for mild offroading.
