To adjust the length:

When racing for Mazda...you put the car (Jeep Here) on level ground with 1/2 tank of fuel. It helps if your car (Jeep Here) is properly aligned before hand...probably ok in this instance if your KJ is driving fine already. Put at least your weight in the front seat if you want to get technical about it (You are setting these up for the best length while on-road). Now you just adjust the length so that they easily push on...

This should leave you with a front sway bar with no preset and no bump steer...for the road.

These should actually help on the road with them set properly...

We certainly are showing this vendor that the KJ community is alive and well and has the $$$ for mods.

Now, if we can only get some others to step up...

Ordered Mine from 4x4rockshop today - Since they were closed thurs/friday last week I called to order them direct from JKS. JKS wanted $149 and would not match. I waited till today and called 4x4rs and finally got thru (had to use email first) After multiple emails finally ordered online, then a few emails later got a reciept and looks like their drop shipped anyways from JKS. Michael Cohn nice Guy.

4x4rs was $126 and they gave me the 5% discount total to Hawaii $145.

Ill post again when installed with flex pics. KjHawaii

Got them installed tonight...

Wasn't real obvious where the sway bar should be positioned: ie. the disco length. The links do not go as short as stock, so the swaybar is pushed up a bit. At about 1/2" extension they slide onto the posts easily. Other lengthes had some binding when trying to slide um on.

However, the extra length causes the swaybar / disco to contact the rubber brake line as you can see in the pics. Will have to call them to see if I did something wrong, or if different years have the brake line in diff locations. The ones in the earlier pics are no where near the brake lines. Also looks like the "Lanyard" might be a bit too short to keep the sway bar in the neutral position while disconected. Will have to see how it works when articulating.

Drove around the block with them on and didn't notice a difference, which is a good thing. Will get to try them out offroad this weekend if all goes as planned.
