I have a 4 door Rubicon so to the extent and limits of the systems operating parameters, I have front swaybar disconnects.

The issue I am interested in is the rear swaybar. On an 30° articulation ramp this weekend I got a score of 517. Seems sort of low to me. The photo's my wife took show clearly the rear of the JK is less flexy than the front. Hence my question; does anyone install rear swaybar disconnects? If so how much does it help? If not, why not?

Any thoughts on this?

 

Search around because WOL has responded much better then I can. The jist of it is that the rear swar bar will flex enough for your purposeless. If you disconnect (or remove it all together as some do in other off road vehicles) you are going to lead to trouble just as popping a spring.

 

As I understand it. (I have limited experience, feel free to correct) You really want your rear to have less compression travel than the front.

Think of a 45deg slant. If your rear has a large amount of compression travel you jeep will roll down the slope. If your rear has less compression travel you'll be able to use your rear to add some stability to your Jeep.

Use your front travel to start crawling up things. Use your rear travel to give yourself stability.

Now rear extension travel is very useful (for the same stability); thus complicating a suspension setup.
