Default Installing Rubicon sway bar on a Sahara

So, I can get a Rubicon sway bar and it seems to be working fine. Still need to test whether the servo is really working.

While browsing for the wiring diagram in the Internet I came across a write-up somewhere else. However, it was too old and did not have photos anymore. :-(

Bottom line is that I am thinking about using the servo instead of getting the EVO manual disconnect. If the servo is working, of course.

The write-up's author says that we need to use a resistor to limit the current or we can damage the servo. However, he talks about a 2 ohm resistor, which seems quite low. What's the max current?

I'm not very fond of the idea of getting the OEM harness, switch block and having to take my Jeep to a dealer to reflash for it to work..

The solution the guy described seemed quite simpler and not tied to the Jeep's computer deciding when to engage or disengage the servo.

So, the questions (for now) are.
1) Anyone here has the servo wiring diagram?

2) Anyone here installed the Rubicon sway bar on a non-Rubicon and did this directly or used the OEM harness and flashing at the dealer?

3) Anyone using the EVO manual switch? How's it working?

4) Sway bar links in the Rubicon are the same as the Sahara's? I saw in the install instructions that the sway bar comes with the links, whereas this one has not. They should be the same, but I'd like to confirm.

Thanks!

Yep! Looking at it and thinking about getting it and leaving in the toolbox in case the electric servo breaks. However, does it fit with a full-width LoD and its slide plate? I mean, is there space to fit our hand there and turn the knob?

Cool! Are the links the same size? This one I saw does not have the links, so can I use my Sahara's or have to buy new ones? Why are you still using the quick disconnect links?
