Default Lift comimg this week

I'm scheduled to get a 4" teraflex with bilstien shocks installed this comimg week... Sooooooo excited!
Going to leave the stock rims and tires for now to avoid too much expense at once.
I'm told the sway bar disconnect will be manual after the lift, does anyone know if there's a way to mod the Rubicon disco to allow it to still function without danger of breaking with such a high lift?

you do know that this lift will actually yield closer to 5", right? might look a little funny with stock tires.

whoever told you this is a moron who doesn't know what he's talking about and you should no longer listen to him. the only thing you need to do is install links that are long enough to accomodate the extra lift height you will have. the rubicon e-locker will work just fine.

Yeah I know it's gonna look funny. I just can't justify doing everything at once and suck at saving money for a big goal lol.
wheels and tires will be a January thing probably.

That was what I thought from my own mechanical mindset, thanks for backing up my thinking.
