I am finally installing longer swaybar links this weekend. I installed a 2.5" BB a few months ago that did not come with the longer bars. Am I going to notice any difference while driving?

 

Anybody have a response?

 

I'm in the EXACT same boat you are and I actually just ordered longer links and a track bar relocation bracket from Quadratec today - I know I need the bracket to center the axle under the Jeep again but did I waste money just to have my sway bar horizontal or will it actually change the way it feels on/off the road?

Thanks

 

You won't notice anything.

 

you wont notice any diff the longer links just compensate for the additional height

 

Then why is it so important to add longer links in the back and move the original back ones to the front for a lift as small as 2.5"? It's important enough that they are now part of BB kits like the TF kit and others?

 

Adding longer links keep your swaybar links from being the limiting factor in your suspension droop/articulation. If you're not running disconnects in the front, keeping the stock links with a lift can limit your downtravel. Also, if you happen to have a rubi with the e-disco, you run the risk of drooping past the capable length of your links and flipping the swaybar the opposite direction.

Wondering about this myself. I see the 2.5 Terflex kit has longer rear links, but the 2.5 inch AEV does not...

 

Keeps costs down for AEV on their over priced lift kits.

 

You won't "pretzel" you links while articulating :-) All good!
