If it were me , I'd buy adj links for the rear and adj quick disco's for the frt, that way if your e-disco craps out, your already prepared and you can adjust all the links to what you need anyway. Nothing in these jk's is very consistent as far as the suspension is concerned.

Okay for the adj. links, but WHAT IS THE PERFECT LENGTH of the rear links for a 2" lift
Someone just pm me telling that 9" (stock length) is okay for the rear

You want the swaybars level with the ground ( +/- 5 degrees, with + being better than - )

Okay. With the rear links installed in front, my front sway bar link will be more than +5 degrees. Is it bad ???

Ask David when you call, he could tell you. I don't have the e-disco, so I don't know the effects of being too long with that set-up, most people have the probs when they're too short.

fwiw....

I have the 2.5'' tf kit with shocks and coils and links

moved the rears up front, and used the ones that came with the kit in the rear...

I use my e disco all the time and no problems...

If you look up the lengths of those parts it might help you figure out what you want to know maybe ??

Just get adjustables all around. You won't be happy with anything else.

I had moved my OEM rears to the front with my Rubi and TF 2.5" Coil lift (and spacer), so I got about 3.5" inthe front. The rears were fine both with and without the spacer. When I installed 3" coils, which going from 2.5" to 3" netted me about 1.5" gain, I went with Northridge 4x4 adjustable (non quick disco) for the front and still kept my TF extended rear ones in the back and its great...

Here is a pic from when I was running the 2.5" lift and the OEM Rear links in the front with the Edisco'd.
