Thanks. Been trying to take it easy on it until 1k miles, passed that now lol. With the 35s and 4:56s it is very peppy, we will see how it feels with the heavy 37s soon. The biggest surprise is how well it rides, hate to mess with it but you know how that goes lol. I’ve decided to go spacer lift first but with the other goodies (front LCAs, TBs, and fox ATS). If not happy with that, I will jump to new springs and shocks down the road.

Did a little study with MC sway links on my rig today…..I’m just glad my rig didn’t burst into flames ?……. ? …..JK….

This is not a knock on MC links , more the style of the links. MC links were the only ones long enough so not to invert on me, so that’s why I used them for the comparison…..

Don’t take this the wrong way…… I have mad respect for Metal Cloak, they are a great company with great quality parts…..I could of just as easily went with them, but Rock Krawler does a few things that I like better that’s all……..

They allowed nearly the same amount of droop and it lifted the rear wheel, but not enough to matter…..I could not feel any difference in the on road ride.

None of this is that big of a deal but I wanted to show how much of a bind regular links get in on the Rubi elect. sway bar. My buddy’s bushings crapped out within a year, he has the 3.5 MC GC……. I wouldn’t be surprised to see MC come out with their own double heim links at some point.

There was about an inch less droop and and it lifted the rear wheel. I could not feel any difference in the on road ride.

So, are you saying the no-limit Rock Crawler sway bar links you have, and you had me get are better suited?

IMHO, yes, I think that the Rubi electro disconnect works better with a sway link that allows for the misalignment that occurs at max flex…… This isn’t as big an issue for the casual wheeler, or road kings.

I’m not sure why others comment on double heim not handling as well on road. Could there be that much movement that would be at all noticeable ?‍

Nah, I can’t feel any movement, to me there’s really no difference. Some say they can feel the difference in the rubber bushings vs the heim , but I never was good at feeling that anyway……. ?
