Hello, im working on a 96 xj 4.0. We put a 4" spring pack on it from rustys and the front sway bar now rests on the springs.. ive done a little bit of searching but could not find any real questions related to this. Is there different sizes for the sway bars? I was reading a post about the grand cherokee sway bar being able to bolt directly up to an XJ and they were bigger, if this is the case my uncle just bought a parts grand cherokee i might be able to get it off of it.. here are some pics if i can get them to upload.. Im new to working on vehicles and 4x4's so be kind plz I dont mind reading if someone knows of some good posts or if someone can give me an answer.. Thanks in advance

the swaybar link is too short for the lift. With a 4" lift you need either extended sway bar links or quick disconect sway bars. Also did you do an alignment after the lift, toe and CASTER? Adjusting the caster may help with the sway bar hitting the coils issue.

X2, too short. Rough country sells quick disco's for around $50.

thanks for the info!! no i havent gotten an alignment yet, im trying to get it inspected so i dont drive it really except to my buddy's house to work on it. ill do some research on the extended sway bar link or quick disconects, but ill ask what is the difference (pros/cons) between the two? its gonna be my daily driver, but i want it more geared for 4x4 than comfort if that matters. thanks again for the info!!
