Sahara + Flex = ? Does it have manual sway bar disconnect?

[TrailJoy]

I've been googling but I can't seem to find the answer.

Does a stock Sahara have a manual sway bar disconnect? How far can it flex (with and/or without a disconnect)?

Pictures would be AWESOME, if you have one (some) to share.

Sahara has a standard swaybar. You would have to disconnect it with tools.

You will want sway bar disconnects for your sahara. Only rubicons have automatic option with switches

sport 2.5” lift with sway bar disconnected

Help me out here (I don't fully understand it). I thought that Saharas all had a sway bar with a manual disconnect (which I want). I don't want or need the automatic disconnect. Am I wrong to assume this? Are sway bar disconnects an aftermarket thing for the Sahara, or just the automatic option?

Based on this I'm assuming that the answer is no, they do not come stock with a manual disconnect...?

On the Sahara and sport models the sway bar links are bolted on. You can disconnect them, you just have to unbolt them. You can buy aftermarket links that are quick disconnect, you just pull the pin....

Do you by chance have a link? I'm googling, but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. (I'm not looking to buy right this minute... just trying to learn.)

What it lacks in flex it makes up for in mud.

Assuming no bind and the shocks as the limiting factor, the front axle should be able to get to around 18.5° and the rear to 21.7°. For comparison, the Rubicon is ~25°.

Can someone please measure their shock lengths on a stock Sahara at ride height? I'm trying to get a baseline for how it compares to the Rubicon. (a typical Rubicon is 20" front, 22.5" rear)

THANKS! Let me make sure I understand...

The Saraha has a "manual" (term used loosely) disconnect where CAN disconnect it but you have to use tools to unbolt it from the arm. The aftermarket QUICK (manual) disconnect replaces the arm and the bolt with a pin (or similar).

Yes?

There’s certainly some flex & tuck happening in those photos. Might not have been the Rubicon trail but a trail nonetheless lol

Be sure when you’re looking for them, to make sure they say for 0 to 2” lift height, otherwise they’ll be to long for your Sahara if it’s not lifted.

Life gets easier when you accept that “Sahara” means “Sport with options” and they are no different mechanically.

Disconnecting the swayer on my 18 Sahara is easy. 18mm socket and wrench. Zip tie sway bar out of the way. Flex sucks with the sway bar connected. With my swayer disconnected, I popped my front driver fender loose. It popped back in. No lift yet. Rock Krawler 2.5" lift waiting to be installed.

NOTED! No lift yet. It may or may not come later (I don't have a big need for it yet).

I think it's fantastic! There's more than I was expecting, to be honest.
