I have also heard that but have never tried to lay them side by side for a comparison.

the only thing i recommend adding after you put your disco's on is some sort of strap to hold up your sway bar when u disconnect it otherwise it jams into your spring when you flex then u need to use a big hammer
and some naughty words to get it out

it is not that bad on the freeway either mine has been disconnected for about a month and all you have to do is take the corners a little slower other then that rides pretty good

Rear swaybar links from a ford F-150. I think it's the 9" rear end but don't quote me on that. Also ZJ links are 1" longer than XJ ones.
