Keeps your tires from binding the fenders. So in a way yeah. More and easier flex.

Yes, it allows the rear to flex more.

The rear swaybar helps with towing stability though, like when I tow my sleds up north...I think I'll end up making disconnects, so i can have the swaybar every day, but just disconnect it offroad like the front.

I tow my mowing stuff because that is my summer job. I will probably end up doing this because it costs like $5: (unless the disconnects are different on a xj)

Ugh....well, i like to think of it as if it gladly gave it's life to protect you. Sort of like ALL of our service men and women do for all of us daily. It is, at least, a heroic way for her to pass....

What did you do to your Cherokee today?-image-1841382438.jpg

So now that I got this just gotta give it to my girl and project lift will begin in the next few weeks followed by rear bumper, sliders and windshield. Then odds and ends like aux lights, CB radio
