OK, this might not be for all of you.
My jeep wandered all over the road from day one. Mind you, I traded in a SRT Challenger for the 80th JLUS. After reading the forums I just figured it's a "Jeep thing" with a solid front axle. I did the normal upgrades, Tires, bumper, lift.....etc.. The Jeep still required me to make 10000 adjustments to the steering wheel per mile, no fun when you have a 40 mile expressway drive one way every day.
I finally got to the Teraflex sway bar disconnect part of my upgrades. Worked AWESOME offroad, (Highly recommended!), and an easy install. No, I'm not advocating for just Teraflex.... just sway bar disconnects in general.
One day after being buried in the mud to the point I snapped a 10,000# Smittybilt winch cable (not their fault, I was buried about 1/3 the way up the doors). I was pissed off at myself and left the offroad park in anger. In my "stupidity" I started my trip from Flint back to DeTOILET (michigan) without the sway bars hooked back up!
I was going to pull over and hook the up because I knew what I forgot when it felt a little tippy on corners. It was raining, I was tired, pissed off.... you all know.
After a few miles on the expressway I found that I wasn't chasing the Jeep all over the road @70MPH. Made me think.... I left them disconnected.
I will say...... I'm NEVER HOOKING UP THE SWAY BAR AGAIN!
For the past 3 weeks I've had the sway bars disconnected. It IS a little "floaty" sometimes, and you need to use due caution to a back-and-forth maneuver on the Expressway, but IT FINALLY DRIVES GOOD!
I know this isn't for everyone, it is a little "tippy".... but if you drive cautiously....... it is night and day to me.
