Well i tested out the new swaybar disconnects today and they worked great. At full flex my tires rub bad thou. I wheeled the jeep hard today and also scratched up my rear bumper pretty bad from sliding off a big rock and just came down on my rear bumper, nothing like trail damage haha Ill post some pics when i get my new camera charger

How'd you get those damn stock torx bolts out of the sway bar link brackets? haha.. seems like they're welded in, and even the BFH wasn't doing it for me.

I'm interested to know what steering stabilizer you have there. Rough Country, obviously, but did you order it separately or did it come with the kit?

No my kit had RC's hydro shocks and i hated them so i went with their 2.0 shocks. But they didnt have a 2.0 stabilizer so i went with their 2.2 and ordered it when i ordered my new shocks.

I still run the stock stabilizer, but I've never had vibrations. I just want it to match the other 4 shocks with the silver look. Lol.
