Do I need to disconnect my sway bar if my front end has control arms not a solid axle ?

[@surgerowhas1290]

What drag link you running and tire size?

[@MrRedhairyllama]

Also, the jeep I bought definitely has bigger aftermarket bumpstops on it. How do I know what the optimal size of these are? since they effect the shock length measurements . . .

[@JeepSolid]

You probably need those larger bump stops with the 37s on. You just have to make sure the bump stop prevents the shock from bottoming out and the tire from hitting the wheel well.

[@joeday397]

Why didn't you shoe the actual swaybar removal???

[@MrRedhairyllama]

So my jackstands arent even close to being able to reach the jeep frame on my TJ. it has 37" tires on it. Guess I should just stack some wood under it?

[@JeepSolid]

Yeah, it takes some monster jack stands.

[@eamonkelly9007]

JeepSolid what brand of lift do you have? Can you do a tutorial, or at least kit on some key points. Did you have any issues with drive line angles?

[@CaptTwo6]

What kind of lift do you have. My YJ looks almost like yours

[@JeepSolid]

It has 3 1/2" of lift. Thanks for watching!

[@BroncoSolid]

Math? Seriously??

[@JeepSolid]

BroncoSolid Easy math and it's fun :)
