Getting started with air actuated lockers / swaybar disconnects

[Ryand]

Hello, First time poster / jeep owner so go easy on me Have a 2022 Sahara JLUL Diesel. I am looking to add both lockers and swaybar disconnects pneumatically actuated. I have purchased a rubi pull off 2021 swaybar and an EVO-1152 swaybar disconnect. My question is in wiring and piping. I have the built in 4 switch panel in the jeep I'd like to use. 1st button turn on compressor (haven't picked it out) 2nd activate sway disconnects 3rd activate front lockers (haven't picked out) 4th activate rear lockers. Is this dumb / doable and or advisable? I have seen the wiring guides for turning on the compressor but assuming there is some sort of electronic switch to control the individual lines to the lockers and swaybar?
Thanks!

Yeah, check out ARBs compressor install manuals. They have switched solenoids for the output.

Also, there’s a manufacturer (Voswitch?) that makes an add on switch setup where the rubicon switches go. That way you don’t tie up all your switches in one go.

You are on the right track as all those components can be wired right into your aux. switches and it is easy to do.

@GATORB8 has it right with checking the ARB compressor install manual. It has the full wiring diagram included in it.

@Tech Tim did a video about wiring into the OE aux. switches:

Highly recommend Lasfit AUX panel. The lockers are CANBus tied and operate in the same way as rubicon lockers with safety of not allowing accidental turn on when not in 4LO

I think that was the one I was thinking of.

OP, I don’t think you’ll find a better option than either the ARB single or twin, and it has by far the most aftermarket support.

Make sure you check @Northridge4x4 with the forum discount, should be the best price you’ll find.

Thanks guys, so if I'm using CO2 tank for my tires, any need for that twin ARB or should the single suffice for lockers and swaybar? Need to save some money somewhere

I feel like I saw someone running their lockers with CO2. Maybe a undermount reserve tank and switch the solenoids off that.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I meant to say, I don't need the compressor for filling my tires since I use a CO2 tank for that, so will the single ARB onboard compressor be enough?

I understood, the ARB single won’t have a problem. They have a cheaper compact that I think may be meant for that so look for that.

I just meant you may be able to run without a hard wired compressor since you are carrying CO2.

Check out PN CKSA12

That is pretty cool! Hmmmm.... I'm passing that on to the Northridge4x4 product manager.

If you are running CO2 for your tires, you don't need the twin.

Check out PN CKSA12

Those are a good compressor, though I'd say to go with the CKMA12, it is the medium size single and will run the lockers and sway bar no problem AND if for some reason, you forgot to fill your CO2 tank, it will fill your tires too. Just a little slower than the twin.

Northridge4x4 forum discount is: jlwranglerforums

It doesn't work on all products. Depends on manufacturer discounts rules and regs.
