Suspension questions.
I'm fairly new to offroading & jeep tech so hopefully someone can help me out. I have a 2011 jku sport with a 4" lift. It came lifted when i bought it i looked at what the springs say on them & their superlift springs. The shocks say mopar on them & are white so i dont know if they are the right shocks. When ive gone wheeling if i go up a rock on one wheel in the front the other front wheel is in the air pretty fast. Is this because my shocks are to small or because i dont have a sway bar disconnect? Also does anyone know how hard the jks quick disconnects are to install? keep in mind im not a super mechanic & dont have more than average tools at my disposal. Any help in appreciated thanks guys

Me I don't know but
Based on your picture, it looks like your getting all your articlulation from the rear. Sway bar disconnects would definitely help.
JKS discos are OK but you might do better for the price.
I know they also make the Switchblade but for $900 I would stick with a standard disco.
Just my $0.02.
edit: If after disconnecting you find your articulation hasn't significantly increased or your springs pop out (don't get shocks longer than your springs!) then you can start looking at those things. Discos would definitely be my first priority in your situation.
