Question With 2inch lift, do u suggest front discos for articulation?

Never used discos before, but wondering if it is something I should replace with Quik Discos.

Only have 2inch Skyjacker coil spacer lift with Nitro shocks.

Or is this something that goes along with replacing flex arms and such?

Gracias

You definatly want to disconnect on the trails. It helps keep all 4 wheels on the ground for traction and stability.

I have the 2" Skyjacker spacers as well, I have the stock disco's and use the wrench when I go off road. Once I upgrade to a bigger lift I wil get quick disco's

Depending on tire size, be prepared to chop the fenders or add more bumpstop when you install the disco's. Great addition to your rig.

You definetly want to disconnect, you can get decent flex from the stock coils with a BB. With my 2" BB and 33's I do rub a little on the flare at full flex.


I have the electric disconnect so that is why the swaybar link is still connected in the pic below.

Disconnecting greatly enhances your axle articulation. You will be amazed how much it helps. Just disconnect your sway bar links and you will see. TYry it out first that way and you will then want to spend the money on some quick discos.
