Rear sway bar links. Out with the old, in with the new. I forgot to take a picture with them installed but you can use your imagination. Borrowed components from a TJ, a JK and Ace hardware


Can you tell a difference?


lfhoward hit the nail on the head. There is a very noticeable difference. I drove four hours yesterday to the ski hill and back and it feels so much better. Much less jarring going over bumps and handling has improved

Did you buy them or make them if bought can you post the link


I made them from parts I bought lol. TJ sway bar links and swapped the connecting rods for the rods from a JK. Then I had to buy grade 8 M12 shoulder bolts and nuts from Ace hardware to mount them to the sway bar

About $110. It also fixed the ESP issues I was having after my lift. This is the best mod I've done since my lift. Rides so much better

OK so it looks BADASS, but.....
I went 4wheeling and hit a tree with my mirror, if I had those light mounted it would have destroyed the light.
So I will pass.

I bet it's painted with something like bedliner or plastidip.

You nailed it, it's bed liner. The original powder coating got chipped by rocks & I didn't catch it in time. The resulting rust from the rock chips spread across the bar. In the end it had to be sand blasted to bare metal & refinished. I now make sure I check for chipped paint once a month during the winter & touch up as needed.

I'm afraid it would probably do more damage than just break the lights. If you were to catch the mounting plate itself on something it would probably twist your fender up pretty good. Definitely not for tight trails.
