Lift with Rubicon Electronic Disconnects
So I just recently traded my 11 Sport for a 13 Rubicon. Thinking about putting another Teraflex Leveling Kit on it like I had on my 11. Or maybe going with a 2.5" BB. With the electronic sway bar disconnect, am I okay to use the factory sway bar links? Should I use longer links that come with whatever lift I choose? And if I lift it, does the electronic disconnect get damaged in anyway? Do I loose any flex lifting it?

X2 Ideally you want links long enough to put the sway bar slightly higher than parallel. The issue is if the links are too short and you disconnect using the e disco the link can flip around.

If you do a small leveling kit then longer drop links are not really needed. The Teraflex Budget boost typically moves the rear drop links to the front and replaces with longer rear links.
You will not harm the E-disco by installing a lift. Even though you have the E-disco we still recommend to manually disconnect. We recommend this for a few reasons. Number one being that it is possible to over rotate the sway bar and when you put weight back down on the tire it will bend the link. Number two is because the link and sway bar could limit your down travel.

Now I'm not saying that every ones set up will be limited by the e-disco but it is another potential spot which will limit your travel.

Hmmmm. My understanding is the e disco is just as effected as disconnecting the links but I cannot say I have any experience testing. I have just not seen any tests that prove otherwise.
