Sway bar disco still works if the sway bar is not at the same angle as stock. A friend of mine had the rears in the front and the sway bar folded backwards and turned his sway bar links into a pretzel. So, to be safe I put longer links (same length as the Currie) on and have been able to attach and disco the elec. sway bar with no problems.

I also had to cut the trans skid to clear the front drive shaft. Go to napa and get a Boot clamp. Take the big one off your drive shaft boot and put the new one on. The crimp is less than half the size of the stock one and should help avoid tearing the boot when your drive shaft comes close to your transmission pan.

New front drive shaft would work. I'm gonna try to find a new boot, then move the axle a little over to the drivers side with the adjustable track bar.

If I can't get a boot, i'm calling dave for a new shaft.


I was trying to climb a rock wall and my jeep slid to the drivers side causing the drive shaft to come in contact with the transmission pan. Then i heard it flapping around. i was glad to see it was the boot and not anything serious.
