Default TF leveling kit question

Are the front sway bar links included in the TF leveling kit compatible with the Rubicon automatic sway-bar disconnect system? I'm looking to fit 33' tires without raising the Jeep any higher than necessary, while keeping the stock Rubi rims.
Thanks,
Nathan

i'm pretty sure the links you get are for the REAR and then you install the factory rear links up front. this will be fine for your application but, if you aren't running new wheels with less backspacing, you may find that you'll need to run wheel spacers to prevent the rear link bolts from rubbing the sidewalls of your tires.

Nathan,
The kit comes with new front swaybar endlinks. I have a 2010 Rubicon UL and my swaybar disconnect works great. I found the TF performance spring leveling kit worked better for me, but both come with the same links and both are 100% compatable with the e-disconnect system.

If you run 33's, you may very well need to add wheel spacers if you plan to keep the OEM wheels. I plan on adding 285/70/17 GY Duratrac's and Spidertrax spacers once my OE BFG's wear out. At first. I was dead set against wheel spacers, but every test and analysis I've come across concluded that high quality hub-centric wheel spacers like Spridertrax are as safe as any aftermarket wheel.

Thanks for the info about the PA inspection law. I did not know that. My mechanic is awesome, spacers wouldn't be an issue for me to pass inspection. That said, I may just buy new wheels to be 100% legal.

You don't know what Echo does at inspection time, do you? IIRC, he runs Spidertrax spacers and lives between you and I.
