That's why I'm trying to be objective and say do what you like... but don't recommend that to a noob... let him explore that on his own if he gets to that point. If he wants to do discos I applaud him for spending an extra 50 or 100 bucks to keep the jeep in the range of stock handling. BTW I like those r.c. Links!

No kidding? How long did you have them? Did you have them connected when you were wheeling to bend them?

Installed mine about a week ago. It didn't come with the bolts for the upper mount. Called up RC and they had a new hardware bag sent to my house 2 days later with a couple of free t shirts

Thank you. Yeah, they're pretty nice for my set up. I don't have any problems. It was a slight pain setting up the holding brackets but a few extra bends and they are perfect now. Everything with a jeep is a project so I expected to do atleast a little modifying.

Lets not go there please! I appreciate the advice though. I notice the difference, I've heard both arguments, but I want a front Swaybar.

usually I can grab the retaining pin with my thumb and pointer finger and they just come right out... one time I had to grab a pair of pliers...

and only takes a few seconds to hook back up...

I have put around 5,000 miles on them
