Thinner Front Swaybar Links

[JeepJLU402]

I got a little rubbing at full turn full flex after I lifted my jeep as well. I have the JKS quick disconnect sway bar links. However in my case, the rubbing is minimal and happens rarely so I am not concerned. How often do you rub? and does it happen on regular driving? if that's the case I'd definitely look into fixing the issue asap.

I plan on installing wheel spacers when I get bigger tires. I did some research and there are some really good quality spacers out there. Some loctite and a good torque wrench it is all that's needed to properly install them. Buying new wheels is a waste of money imo and I like the rubi wheels.

Spacers are one of those things you absolutely need to follow manufacturers recommended torque. A lot of people just wing it and then they have issues. Accidents where wheels come off because people rotate them and don't torque them right afterwards happen often. That's without wheel spacers.

I was thinking about not doing anything as an option but once I saw it I couldn’t un-see it. It only happens when I’m trying to get out of a tight parking spot and I have to turn hard and fast. Basically hit the wheel stops and keep into them. In normal driving it’s no issue.

You could also adjust the wheel stops a turn or two in the mean time.

how do you like your tires and how easy were they to find? those are the ones I am looking at.

I’ve really liked the tires so far(7,000 miles). As far as my daily driving they have done great with everything Nebraska throws at them and have done great on family vacations. Off road I haven’t been able to get them on trails yet. The trip with my Dad and his Tacoma we had to push to next summer.

Have you flexed the jeep fully? You should check how the Jeep behaves offroad to see if you need new wheels / spacers.

Yeah if you can get some new endlinks that would solve the problem and is cost effective.

wheel spacers do make it look better and give the jeep a wider stance for offroading. Tons of people use spacers. Just buy top quality and follow the manufacturers directions for torquing them. People have issues either dont follow the directions or buy the cheapo soacers that may not be machined properly.

if it if was my jeep, id do spacers. Since you bought dyntrac lift (same as mine) im assuming you plan to do a little more than mall crawling. I was going to do that when i was running stock rubi wheels but ended up buying aftermarket wheels

The plan is to do trails with my Dad. We had been using his Tacoma and taking turns driving. Getting things scheduled isn’t easy sometimes and I always wish there was more but I’ll be happy with what I get.

True. It might not be a bad idea to find a place to flex it. It might make it clear that new wheels is really the only way.

I love the tires and Discount Tire ordered them and had them in within a day or two.

I forgot to mention that. I got mine from Discount Tire also. They had them in within 7days for me.
