removing sway bar
#18
disconnects you just pull a pin and then slide the bottom end off and tie them up. JKS makes some really nice ones that are adjustable so if you lift it later they can still be used (mine just paid for themselves cause I lifted higher and didn't have to buy new disconnects ;-)

How do you remove the rear sway bar? I'm gonna be lifting my jeep to 3 inches soon and figure if I'm already gonna be under there I might as well take it out. Thanks

Crawl underneath the back of the jeep and unbolt it from the frame rails. There is a bracket on each end of the rear sway bar connecting to the frame rails. two bolts in it per side.

There is a reason why ALL (almost) vehicles come with front and/or rear swaybars! Ask anyone who has rolled their jeep and see if they leave it off again! I would definitely leave it on and get the disconnects.

To each their own, but It's going to be sad when we have to read about you in the local paper...
