So, just thought I'd share this info. I'm pretty sure it's already on here, but most people either don't realize there's a search option or they just don't know how to do it, or they just don't care. So with that in mind, here goes.
I've got a 3" lift and 31's and just recently did some home-brew quick discos. Took it out for a test run with the front sway bar disconnected and noticed that my stock hoses were stretched to their limit and I wasn't getting full articulation. So, I replaced the stock hoses with those from a '95 YJ. The difference is amazing! I can flex as much as possible (tire is packing completely) and there's still about 2" of hose travel available. I would definitely recommend this mod to anyone. Costs less than $40 and you get a much safer rig (mechanically) when you're going without a front sway bar. The rear hose from a YJ will give you about 3" more length from what I've read and heard. Hoping to that one soon too.
