LMAO. Actually I have never had a front and rear sway bar on my jeep since I bought the thing. Wikth the 12.50's and extending my track width lil more then 6" I haven't come close to enough body roll to roll it. :P That is also helpful with the shorter springs.

temporarily. I got a great deal o nthe drop bracket kit which put my control arms almost back to horizontal. Long arms and a rear lunchbox will be the next mods. Long story short buddy wanted to keep his L.A.s at last second had to go this route. But it still flex very well.

HAHA the **** I do, and still effin works LMAO. Don' worry I've also driven it with no trac bar, steering stabilizer only tie rods. I like to experiment. you know it still made it through 7/8 rated trails just fine. I'm planning on keeping the shorter coils and swapping out the spacers with ACOS adjustable

Money pinching

Short arms, Stacked Spacers, No Swaybars ............. Please do us a favor and delete your build thread if you have one , An DO NOT BREED there are enough morons on the road already !

I can see a thread soon stating that you rolled your Jeep !

Buy some 7.5" coils ! If you cant afford it maybe you should not have lifted it higher in the first place, If you did it to fit the 33's there is a thing called Trimming and bump stopping !

Your an idiot, I would be more concerned with getting the suspension corrected than a buying a ****ing locker

Please post Pictures of your Jeep on Pirate 4x4 showing them your new lift they will help you out .

LMAO you guys are entertaining. thinking one of doing **** is right. Trust me I can do 7/8 rated trails just fine, road stability and have had this jeep for 6 years no sway bars and have never rolled it obviously from the pictures.

I don't care what pirate 4x4 says, I've built fully capable jeeps before, just because I didnt give a **** about doing what other people think is right is fine, not your jeep don't worry about it. I don't care for half of the builds people do. I don't bash them. So take this advice not your jeep don't worry about it.

As for your skeptical nature, if you never ridden or offroaded with me then you have no place to question how my suspension works on and offroad. If you only do what people on pirate 4x4 tell you too then you have never been innovative, I'm sorry you only build the jeep the way your told.

BTW: 7.5 inch coils would cause more sway in the suspension causing the need to use a sway bar especially for a softer rate spring. For shorter springs you have less lenghtof spring that will cause them to flex under normal operating standards. Try it for yourself. Take a 7" coil and brake hard from 60 mph your front end will dip hard, now take a 3.5" coil and brake the same you will have less of that dipping effect which applies side to side, with and extended track width and wider tires it cause more stability from the chance of body roll rolling my jeep. Combined with 3.5" coils springs the body roll is minimal compared to what you think you know. Trust me I built this suspension for operating needs not what people think I should do with it, hope that helps you guys tht only want to bash people. And yes stacked spacers are not ideal, but you also don't know what I did with them either, do you? Please worry about your own jeep and not mine

First of all, you are not an idiot, more of a d-bag. Second, it's not just your life you're playing with, it's everybody on the road. And yes, I'm talking about that minivan full of kids that's unfortunate enough to hit you head on when you get cocky[er] around a corner. But it won't do you any harm, cause you don't give a ****. Save the medics the trouble and put a sway bar on there or park the damn thing.
