Default Rubi Disconnects

So, I understand how it works. Disconnecting the bar in the middle so it rotates freely and doesn't act like a torsion bar.

My question is this:

With out disconnecting the actual end links, the sway bar will still limit the articulation to a point, correct? It will just be further than stock.

So in theory, if you had long enough shocks, the sway bar would still limit your down travel.


Just something to discuss as I dream about my tax refund and how I'd like it to go to the JK, but college fund for my girls is more likely....

...and sometimes it will go past straight and go the other way when the axle comes back up.
It will bend the links when that happens.

Although when you have a lift the sway bar links are longer so the front end can droop much more than stock.

See the pics for what I'm talking about

The sway bar links are still connected and the Rubi sway bar is disconnected
