Okay, I've built up my 2011 JKU pretty well over the last year and a half. I was a gear head growing up, but work as a civil servant now and really enjoy the time working on my Jeep. I'm not a mechanic by trade but I rebuilt engines, swapped rears, etc in my youth. But, I don't work as a mechanic, so please bear with me if this question is stupid. Do I need to worry about rear flex and articulation with the stock sway bar links. I have a RC 2.5 inch lift I installed myself and I also installed quick disconnects on the front and I get great flex on the front. I havent seen anyone really talk about rear flex a lot and as my mind wonders and I think about what to do add to my Jeep next I began thinking about rear flex. The stock rear sway bar links look pretty long, but would I benefit from adding disconnects to them? Does anyone make rear sway bar disconnects or would I just use the same ones as the front? Any thoughts or experience anyone has on this issue would be great. Thanks.

 

You wouldnt benefit. The stock rear swaybar is super soft already and will not limit any wheel travel.

 

Keep in mind what the sway bar actually does not you for offroad stability. Think about the design of anti-rock sway bars and they stay connected. If you are fully disconnected up front I would advise not fully disconnecting in the rear.

There is plenty of flex in the rear with sway bar connected. I don't think you'll gain anything if you disconnect.

 

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Looks like my stock ones are plenty so I will stick with them and save my funds for something else.
