Hey guys,

I am running the following set-up currently:

TF 2.5" Coil Spring
OME LT Shocks
Currie Rear Spring Retainers

I am trying to keep my Jeep as reliable as possible both on, and off the trail. I purchased the rear-spring retainers after I read several cases of peoples' rear shocks falling out due to the OME LT shocks. Now I am a bit nervous about my sway-bars with these shocks.

The TF kit comes with a set of rear sway-bars, and instructs you to move the longer stock rear links over to the front. Are these switched links long enough to be safe with the LT shocks on the 2.5 kit? How much of a possibility exists of them flipping and twisting?

To add a bit more light, the OME LT shocks equal out between roughly 27"-28" at extension. I believe these measurements are actually very close to the TF shocks that actually COME with the TF kit, and so theoretically I would imagine the supplied rear and stock-switched links should be reliable in this configuration?

Maybe someone with a similar set-up could chime in.

Thanks guys for all your help as always.

 

Your best bet is to put it on a lift and see how the swaybar looks at full droop, but in my opinion you do need longer links.

I have bilsteins that are about 28" extended and the factory rear links are too short to use up front. The factory rears measure 9" mount to mount. I just ordered some rockcrawler adjustable front links that came out of their 2.5" kit. They recommend the same bilsteins I am running and their links adjust up to a max of a little under 11" long. I haven't installed them yet, but I'm thinking 10-10.5" is going to be the right length for my set up.

 

Good advice, have you wheeled it at all yet with the rear links in position?

 

Yes, the teraflex rear links from the 2.5" coil lift (12" mount to mount) are fine for the rears. It's only the factory rears that you have up front that you need to worry about.
