The FRONT sway bar correct? Just double checking. Thanks for your time.

A heavier sway bar will help with body roll, but not nose dive. They're a torsion bar, when the nose dives the whole sway bar will just pivot upward in the mounts.

Then you may have something binding up. Take a close look at it, there's nothing to resist the front wheels from going up and down together (the sway bar just pivots in the mounts), the sway bar just keeps them from going up and down different distances independently (like when the body leans around a corner).

Yeah it will match up no problem with stock links or with quick discos.

Awesome...I just heard it'd work better if it was used on a lifted XJ compared to stock bc of the way the ZJ sway bar is shaped so I was curious....I'm bout to order front shocks, trac bar, and sway bar links(all stock lol) I'm 4.5" in the rear and 3.75" in the front bc everything is maxed out lol

Around 5-7ft of flexible tubing attached to the tubing on the diff. Connect and extend into the cab and put a fuel filter on the end. Keeps the breather hose on the diff from sucking up mud/water. Less than $5 to help protect the gears inside
