I am going to install the mopar 2" springs this week to lift its belly of the ground a bit.Does anyone know if lifting it will effect the electric sway bar disconector,or does it require extended links.I just took mit on its first bush bash at landcruiser park on the weekend.The Rubicon is one awsome piece of machinery.Going to the Springs this weekend so hopefully the lift will help out with rampover.
As DBOR said the sway bar will be on an angle. Will not make any real difference unless you stick longer shocks in. The longer shocks will allow the diff to drop further and the shorter links may get to straight in line with the sway bar enabling them to flip under if the diff drops to full extension both sides at the same time.
In other words, if you just dropped in the springs - no probs

"Standard" money saving practice is to swap the rear links to the front and fit new aftermarket rear links. The disconect system itself will be unchanged.
Depending on exactly what shocks / shock length / shock placement etc the rear links will usually do the job. If you have lots of droop on the front then they still can be a limiting factor. This is really only an issue with more modified vehicles as the standard control arms limit the available droop and the front driveshaft CV at the transfer case also runs out of angle.

It seemed like a good idea at the time........
Thanks guys,i was worried about the system disconecting and reconecting but it seems that it will be ok.I amlooking into putting in the mopar shocks just waiting on ncw to get me a price and availability.The car is only 3 weeks old so i am trying to keep it with jeep gear as so there will be no warranty issues.
DBO, Yup but they put the fear of god into you sometimes that you jump at the mopar gear to enusre ease of wrty...
But you are right... unless they can somehow pin the fault on the shocks/springs... my next jeep I will buy from a forum supporter that will allow me to fit my own non-mopar gear....
