here's two more from the side. you can see how much more level the body stays when the axle is allowed to move freely under it. also notice how much more the front tire can tuck.

You live in the mountains, and your rock crawling in the front yard.

HaHa looks good.

here are pictures of what I did. I got 7/16 X 2.5 inch clevis's and cotter pins. on the ZJ I have the Rough Country sway bar end links so I just fold them aginst the bar and use a bunji cord to hold them and the sway bar out of the way. on the XJ, I got some wing nuts to replace the factory nuts on top. I'm using the same 7/16 X 2.5 inch clevis's on the bottom as on the ZJ. I use a bunji cord on the XJ too, but I am working on a different way to hold the sway bar up on it. I chose to use the stock ZJ end links on the XJ because of the ball joint on top makes it easier to reconnect the sway bar then using the stock XJ end links.
