Reducing Body Roll, Suspension?Spring?Rear Sway Bar? Air Bags?

[RedundanT]

spoke to OME ARB. They only have 3.5”. 2.5” will be next year. You reckon they’d be out in the first year the JL was out... it’s been 2 years since the release of the JL and they’re still not ready. *facepalm*

Seems like a bunch of companies have had issues getting 2.5" springs. Not sure why so many went all in on 3.5" when most folk only go up 2.5, but I'm not in marketing, just a grouchy old man.

They said they catered to American market hence they R&D-ed 3.5" first.

Must've been the common lift height for americans...??? xD

Synergy track bar relocation (or others) to fix the roll center will help a lot as pointed out above.

Also the Hellwig rear sway bar helps.

Unfortunately no RHD rear trackbar relocation. Waiting on a company in AU to make it.

I've gone for a Whiteline Rear Sway Bar as it was only about $216AUD vs Hellwig at $590AUD after shipping.

20mm DIA vs 22mm DIA. I'll test this one out and see. https://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail4.php?part_number=BJR01Z&sq=25934

Get the Hellwig sway bar. I have it and it’s awesome and helps a ton with body roll and cornering.

AEV has a RHD lift kit - might want to reach out to them to see if they will sell you the tack bar bracket separately.

X2 for the Hellwig sway bar. It made a huge difference with body roll after adding a RTT.

Can you still twist it up with the hellwig bar?

Will the hellwig bar fit in a stock height JL? Their website suggests it requires a minimum of 3 inches of lift...

You need Part Number: 7775

They also make one for 3 to 5 inch lift which you do not want.

Like everyone is saying, the relocation braket would make a big difference. I will add, since I have a very similar overland setup (rtt, 270 awning, cabinet+fridge in back), that an air lift is almost required. My stock rubicon suspension would squat and roll like crazy before I added an air lift. Since then, I got my ride height back and the body roll has been tamed. I'm adding a 2" lift with the relocation bracket soon.

Do you mean to disconnect the sway links?
I don’t suggest disconnecting the rear.

It'll resist the twist more than the factory bar, which will cause the disconnected front to stuff sooner.

Adding the rear track bar brace and relocation brackets today and then take her for a rip.

Well I installed the track bar relocation bracket and the reinforcement bracket. Took her for a ride and holy cow. What a difference. Definitely a good improvement for sure. The Jeep feels real good and is definitely more connected in the rear.
