JKS disco's question.
#11
My first conclusion was a mistake...
What you need to do, for sure, is to tie the sway bar as close to stock position as possible. At the first moment I was fixing my sway bar this way (as high as I could) and was with the same problem...
All solved with my sway bar tied at the stock position...

As far as securing, normal level position & just wrap a bungee around the frame & swaybar.

guys not trying to hijack the thread, but I put my JKS discos on yesterday along with a 2.5" coil lift.
When I looked at them today, the driver side disco is SOOOO close to the spring it doesn't seem to be normal. Is it? I might have 3-4mm of clearance.
Also....When I tried to pull the driver side off to see of something was wrong it seems as if I did not adjust the right length as the thing was so tight the bushing popped out and stayed on the pin (yes I greased them). So I had to push the bushing back in and adjust the driver side longer than the passenger side. Jeep is in my driveway so I assume I am on "level" ground here in Florida.
I can now slide both discos on and off easily without the binding of the bushing like before. But the driver side is longer than the passenger and seems to be way to close to the spring for my untrained eye.
Any thoughts?

Never an issue. I leave the bungee wrapped around the frame on pssr side all the time, a quick unhook & wrap around the swaybar when disco'd & all set. Keep in mind the bar is pretty good at staying put on its own, it doesnt just flop down when disco'd. Unless youre dropping off hard on ledges or jumping, the bungee just gives insurance it wont move on ya.

I tied it up at the upper coil support, but dont remember the side. At one side (pass or diver) there are two holes there, where I can tie it up...
If I remember I will take a picture tomorrow...
I didnt like the idea of letting a bungee cord there...

Thanks everyone, I got home and checked it out and see what ur talking about as far as tying to frame. Should be good to go. I also have more sag on passenger side. Not a lot but I notice it. My disco is out farther on my driver side to compensate. Hopefully it won't get bad, I haven't had long so we'll see. I wonder if I can get another replacement spring???
