I've got a Rubicon with the rk 2.5 max travel kit and the other day I disconnected with the e-disco and flexed it out. My downside tire was still on the ground and I could grab my coil spring and move it freely. While in this position it looked like my sway bar was about to "flip" towards the front. When my jeep is level my swaybar is level. My question is, if I adjust my links and put my swaybar at a slightly upward angle, will it have any adverse effects on anything? Will it prevent my swaybar from "flipping"?

 

Bumpity bump

 

You are thinking in the right direction. Longer links will prevent the sway bar and links from going over-center.

You have to make sure the stuffed tire side of the sway bar doesn't hit anything with the longer links.

Other than that, you should see no downside to lengthening your links a little.

 

nope, you won't have any problems and it is what you should do.

 

Thanks fellas. Is there any angle that I should be aiming for or just upward

 

typically, about 5° above horizontal is normal so it should be at least that if not a bit more. i would raise it enough to prevent hyperextension.

 

What that guy said!

 

Good advice from everyone. Ideally you would want the bar adjusted to the center of your suspension travel. This will depend on what shocks and suspension setup you are running. Typically as was already mentioned this means at rest on level ground the bar will be pointing slightly up because you typically are going to have less uptravel then droop in your system.

 

Im curious what length center links did you go with to fix this?
