Electric sway-bar discounect?
I am getting ready to do the Locker mod to my Rubicon. I was thinking while I'm running wire through the firewall I'd like to override the Sway-Bar disconnect also. Anybody tried this yet? I would assume it would work like Lockers. (grounding a control wire at the relay)
Also, I understand that diconnecting the sway bar at higher speeds can be very dangerous. But I think this could come in handy on the trails around here where 4lo is not needed as often but increased articulation is nice. (yes I robbed this but couldn't have said it more perfect) I like to have full control over my vehicle. Not including the air bags, seat belts locking, etc etc blah blah blah. I'm saying when I tell my jeep to lock the tires up I want them to lock up. Not no abs kicken in. If I wanna roll backwards I wanna roll as soon as I let my foot off the brake. Not 3 or 4 seconds from then. Know what I mean. Same with the lockers and the sway bars. But any advice would be helpful with the sway bars.
Thanks

I wonder why the guys demonstrating it, and the written material, say the sway bar disconnect in stock configuration will operate in 4lo only. Mine will disconnect in 4lo and 4hi.
Looking at the other features, I see it can change some of the other behaviors. I am disappointed it will not prevent the headlights from coming on when the doors are remotely unlocked.

You can program your Jeep not to turn the lights on when you lock/unlock. Should be written in your manual, if not I know for a fact it is posted on this board. No programmer needed, can be done with your key fob.

For those who may get the feature confused with other owner programmable features...
What I an referring to is, I would like to prevent the headlights from turning on when I unlock the doors with the remote.
So far, I have not seen a successful way for me or the dealer to accomplish this on a U.S. JK.

Superchips Trail Dash
The TrailDash does not disconnect the stock Rubicon Sway Bar (Smart-Bar), but it does turn off the light on the dash if you have removed the sway-bar for something else. Why they let you activate the lockers but not the sway bar is beyond me.
