Default Well I ordered my Rusty's kit today

per advice from everyone here I need to get some bump stops, and extended rear sway links (moving the old rears up front) (JK Rubi)


where would be the best place to pick those up?



Thanks]

You dont need bumpstops. I am looking at getting this lift and done a lot of research, you wont need the bumpstops.

I don't have new bumpstops and I have had no problem....as for the sway bars I got mine from Currie, they are real nice and only like $69 a pair.

No bump stops needed... Get some quick disconnects in the front, leave the rear as is.

i would get longer for the rear at least... front length don't matter cause u disconnect them anyway.. you don't even have to move the rears to the front cause if u plan on articulating they should be removed.

i don't have bumpstops with my rusty's lift those springs are so stiff i don't see over compressing them.

Sorry if this is hijacking....but I to am lookin at the rusty's lift.

Would it be okay to not install any sway bars at all?

Or does that cause other problems?

Thanks

Rusty's doesnt have sway bar links right now for the JK, any good ones should be OK.
