how tight of a fit is the hitch pin in the sway bar mount that comes off of the axle?

what do you use to keep the sway bar link out of the way of the coils and axle when its dissconnected?

I would think[could be wrong] that the swaybar link thats still attached to the sway bar would get in the way of stuff.


Like this JKS sway bar is out of the way of the front suspension where as yours will be sitck out towards the coils and junk,... unlesss you take the top nut off and totally remove the link

Not sure if that will be strong enough. And I bet it will make a lot of noise!

If disco's were that easy everyone would do it.

i was just gonna ziptie it to something its a tight fit i used two washers so it would be just enough room for me to put the pin through the whole
