Yes I did, check the 5th paragraph.

If you don't want to go back and re-read the article, they are Rough Country front disconnects for the TJ/XJ - approx. $60.00 shipped.

OBTW - Nice mods on the truck.

Changing Sway Bars is a dangerous modification, I just want to warn those who don't know.

Bigger isn't always better with sway bars.

Increasing the size of the front bar will stiffen the front of the vehicle increasing the understeer of the vehicle. It will increase the tendency for the front wheels to break loose in corners.

Increasing the size of the rear bar will stiffen the rear of the vehicle reducing the understeer of the vehicle. It will increase the tendency for the rear wheels to break loose in corners.

From personal experiance on a car with a low center of gravity (lowered Firebird), controlling a slide when tire break loose can be managed (and fun), when there is little potential for rollover.

Personally I wouldn't want to be in a situation where my H3 looses traction in a turn on the streets at 20-60 mph. Catching traction during a slide can flip the car.

Ideally sway bars shold be matched with springs and tire sizes in order to keep a balanced suspension.

Sway bar mods within reason are okay on vehicles equipped with stability control systems (VSC, PSM, etc.).

I guess I really screwed the pooch by putting on the sway bar. Maybe I can ebay it.
