Shackle lift and quick disconnects

[H3slate]

Thanks for the writeup and pics. How are they holding up?

The ride is much better, on and off road. I haven't run with the swaybar disconnected yet (no need) but there's still a noticeable increase in flex with it connected. I didn't get any pics on the last trip (never bothered stopping to pose ) but I'll try next time out.

Now I just gotta install the new t-bars and level it out again.

I have the same disconnects. Copy pasted it from Sewie. They look great, work great and give you lots of flex even with them connected. My jack could not get the tires off the concrete. You must pull the the ABS wires from the plug in the fender wall. Otherwise the flex will break them. I noticed this when jacking up the rear tires.

I give Sewie a:

Thanks.

The ABS wires were one of the reasons I didn't bother to disco the swaybar on my last run. Did you reattach the cables to the fenderwall somehow? Or are they just dangling there?

That is only $527 plus shipping!

Seems like money well spent to level and improve rear articulation!

This would be perfect if I wasn't in love with the fox shocks.

how do you keep the sway bar up out of the way when it's disconected?
