I just installed these rubicon express sway bar disconnects I got off of Facebook marketplace for a good deal. This is the first major thing I've installed myself along with front brake lines.

I have a ~3 inch lift and I'm worried they might be too long. If they are, how bad is that gonna affect handling?

 

You want the angle to be 10-15 degrees according to the jks ones i installed.

Get yourself an angle finder
Look at this on eBay

or if you have a smart phone I'm pretty sure there is an angle finder app.

 

The angle doesnt look too bad. Should be confirmed with an angle finder.

The bushings on the frame mounts dont look very good. They should probably be replaced

 

It's a little steep, but it's not a race car so it's not a big deal. During normal cornering in an XJ, you're not going to notice any difference.

 

When I first installed my Rusty's QDs, they were too tall for my 3.5" lift. I ended up modding them, but before I did so the ill effect was the top bolt would hit the wheel well under certain conditions, like dips in the road, speed and other bumps at certain angles, etc. As mentioned above, your angle doesn't look too steep, but I'd cut down that top bolt or get a shorter one.

Cheers!
