I will throw in that it will depend on the set up of the vehicle. Stiffness of the coils, valving of the shocks, orientation of the shocks, track width and length, and amount of up travel you have will have an affect the body roll and the need for torsion bars.

Indeed.
Excluding esoteric suspensions, and for the vast majority of lifts, coils and shocks, a rear anti-sway bar is needed for safe handling.

I just saw these online. They look stout with 1 ton tres. The tie rod having offset tres is great for stock wheels. Solid chromoly is super strong.

Installed last night. Easy install. Just another great Metalcloak part(s). Not to mention it looks great. Kinda wakes up the front of my JK.

It looks nice, but that drag link looks funny. I can't find a picture on their website. Are you sure it is installed the right way??

Your correct. I forgot to snug the right side jamb nut. Fixed it this morning. Nice catch.
