Installing Sway Bar Drop Brackets?
I was hoping someone could give me some insight on how to install these with the RC 3" lift kit. It didn't come with directions, I'm a noobie to this, and just want to make sure I do it the right way. Thanks for any info.

Typically these bolt where the swaybar bushing used to sit on the unirails, then the swaybar gets bolted to this. In other words, they fit between the swaybar and unirail.

So if I'm understanding this correctly, since the jeeps being lifted this gives the swaybar a new mount lower down to make up for the difference? and the swaybar will be mounted here where the bushings are?

So the directions for the kit didn't tell you how to install the brackets?? I'd call RC and ask them why they sold ya something without directions on how to install it.

Yeah, it's weird. They actually didn't even send directions for the series II 3" lift kit I bought. They have directions on their website for the 4.5 inch kit which I printed and will use for most of the stuff ( coils, leafsprings, LCa's ). The 4.5 inch kit doesn't have sway bar drop brackets though, so I don't have anything to go off of for those.

Yes. While not a Jeep this shows a relaction bracket on a swaybar.

Most of us run extended swaybar links like JKS and the like, serving the same purpose.

Thanks for the picture. That is exactly what I needed for it to make sense. I'll definitely use that pic as a reference
