Sway bar advice
3" lift zone AAL lift, sway bar is outta commission. It's so loose I can shake it around when I grab it. I could use some opinions on end links, cheaper the better. I know when I get the longer links it'll tighten up but what's the opinion on the bushings on the frame , replace? Is it worth the extra work?
Thnx 4um for all your jeepiness.

otherwise for the front you could go with these:

if I remember right it comes with the bushings but otherwise it would be best to replace them.
Or if you want disconnects then try rough country I'm sure they've got some. I mostly drive mine to work and home. I just take her in the mud every now and then so I went with the first option. Hope I helped.
peace

Just buy a set of SB Disconnects install them and see how it drives that will tell if you need to do more or not. A lot of people run without them, I'm not one of them though.

6.5" on 35's here. No rear, but with the front disconnected, anything over 25mph is down right scary. Got it up to 50mph one time with it disconnected, had to change my shorts afterwards!

you can't recommend removing the front one. you can do it if you want, but in case of accident, some insurance will see this as liability so I'd never tell someone to just ditch it, unless used solely offroad.

this is 100% true. I am with the others that have mentioned getting disconnects, also now would be a good time to replace the frame side bushings too since they are cheap($8 ea or so).

I just replaced my front sway bar bushings, about $2.50 each at Autozone. Almost 5 minutes to install. No reason not to do this if needed.
