Sway bar angle after fitting longer springs?

[Jeremynolan94]

Hi all,

I just fit a set of 60/61 and 91/92 Rubicon takeoff springs on my Willys Sport. I net approximately 2"of lift front and rear and am very happy with how it turned out.

After intall, I noticed that the front and rear sway bars are both closer to horizontal now that I've installed the longer springs. Is this much of an issue? I know there is the risk of inverting the bar, but how likely is that? I can always adjust my Apex Autolynx quick disconnects to angle the front sway bar up slightly; however, I've still got my stock rear sway bar links in the rear. If needed I'm sure I could pick up a pair of Rubicon links, though I don't know if they are any longer than what Ive already got. Any thoughts are appreciated!

As long as the sway bar is level horizontal or angled up slightly it will work as designed. Since you have adjustable links you can cycle the suspension and see if the sway bar is the limiting factor for downward flex. 9 times out of 10 it will be your shocks that limit travel.

Unless something has changed in the past couple of years, the Rubicon links are the same length as non-Rubicon links. You’d probably have to go to aftermarket links to get longer links.
