This is with a Rusty's 3 inch lift (minus the drop pitman arm and T case drop.)
JKS Quicker Disconnects.

I'll have more pictures soon but I ran a bunch of red trails at RiverRockORV

no vibes at all.

Drives like stock to me.

swaybar Discos are probley the most useful thing you can buy.

Very, very nice. Quick question on those discos. I installed the JKS discos on my 05 Rubi last month and I noticed that the small metal tubes that I bolted on the inside of my wheel-well (the ones that hold the arms in place when they are disconnected) are bent to hell now. Could this be an issue with where I positioned them or could it be the swaybar flexing while it's on the trail? Have you or anyone else had this issue?

Again, great pics. Your Rubi sure looks sharp!

I placed my retainning posts by un doing the links and holding them next to the frame and making a mark with a perma marker.

If you had both sides disconnected i dont see how the sway bar would move. So I would guess it was were you placed them.

Retaining posts. Why did I go blank on that in my last post? What a moron.

Yeah, I suspect you're right. Where, on the frame, did you place them? I thought I had chosen a pretty good spot, plenty high on the frame but I guess it wasn't as good as I thought.

Sorry for the questions, I do appreciate your help though. Thanks!
