You want your sway bar to be level with the rest of the Jeep. After the lift you will notice the end of the swaybar where the links attach pointing to the ground. It is not very common but when it is sitting like that there is a chance you could bend a link like Crunchy did.

X2. Especially since you have a Rubicon with the E-disconnect. At very least, you could check the For Sale section and get the rear discos from someone else who has taken theirs off. That would be a cheap way to change your fronts with the longer rear ones and not have to worry about it.

Thanks guys. I'll see how they look.

Great idea. Basically, I could run some rears on the front and the leave the stock rears in the back.

With the rears in the front will you still have an interference problem and require moving the stock wheels out or is that just with the aftermarket links.

The interference problems tend to be in the rear from what I have seen here. You shouln't have any problems using the rears up front.

I also will be installing an OME lift with JKS front and rear track bars. Already have front JKS removable links. I'm replacing an FT BB lift. Any issue with leaving the FT bump stops in place or must they be removed?

What length brake extensions did you get for the OME lift and where did you find the rear extended links?

Ok now I am wondering if I really have the correct OME springs for my 4-door.

Front is heavy duty due to winch and heavy bumper so coils are 619.

Rear is supposed to be medium duty 300 lbs and I have a hard top. Dave at Northridge sent me 617 coils but I think he should have sent me 618s.

Thoughts?

I went through this too. When I received my OME kit, I noticed the rear springs were 617s. After a bit of research I realized that I should have gotten 618s with my Jeep having the hard top and doing a little towing of dirtbikes -n- such. I just exchanged them for the 618s. No biggie.

The 618s will be a bit firmer, but I usually add the weight back with all my stuff. (hard top, gear, dogs, etc...)

Thanks, SMP 70. I'll wait and see how the 617 rears look once the AEV front bumper and Warn 9500ti are mounted up on front where I have the heavy duty springs to see if the Jeep is level. The OME lift, new bumper, new winch are all underway along with brand new frame and front axle replacement from a front right corner parking lot accident that bent my LOD bumper.
