AEV 3.5" DualSport RS Suspension System/ Front Swaybar angle/ Buy Disco?
Guys,
After searching the Forum I could not find an answer to a problem that I noticed after installing my lift on my 2012 Rubi.
I installed an AEV 3.5" DualSport RS Suspension System. This system comes with the front high-steer kit and swaybar extension brackets for mounting points for the front swaybar. The instructions say to use the stock rear swaybar links upfront. It appears that they are too long as the front bar is not parallel at all. It is probably 20 degrees too high.
Anyone else with this lift noticed the same?
I am considering to purchase the JKS disco adjustable links to correct this.
I would just remove the swaybar extension brackets but the passenger side bracket is the high-steer bracket.
Also, do most people do rear disconnects as well? The rear is parralell so no problem there. Was just thinking about more articulation when wheeling.
Thanks!!

No need to disco the rear since the swaybar has more give than the front and allows full articulation. The swaybar does not have to be level. This allows the extra length needed to obtain full droop without your swaybar flipping the wrong way.

I have same Jeep (2012 JKU Rubi) and same lift. My sway bar sat the same way and I had no issues with it. It worked great. I have since been in a head on collision that took out the sway bar disconnect. I am replacing it with a Currie Anti-Rock.
