Title: lift finally
Post by: knotts89 on November 15, 2010, 09:33:31 AM
went ahead and ordered a zone lift last week. I figured since its my dd and i mostly just do trail rides i wouldnt spend a ton on a lift. we put it on saturday and so far it has been great and the jeep looks a lot better any suggestions on quick disconnects or are they all pretty much the same

I'm not running a sway bar anymore on my 1995 yj.

I run some Rubicon Express disconnects because they were cheap.

Oh and if you haven't done it already, remove the rear track-bar.  You might consider removing the front but test it out and see if you like it before junking it all together.  The suspension should be a lot softer with the trackbars removed, even if it's just the rear one.

should have specified its a 98 tj, could i still remove the rear track bar? Zone had a set of quick disco for $100, is that a fair price?

Don't remove your track bars (TJs need them)!  I'm pretty sure the Rubicon Express discos are cheaper.

Whoops, yeah, I got thrown by 1995yj's post.

You'll want to keep your track bars and your swaybars.

RE's are the cheapest out there but they may or may not make some noise.  I never had any problems with them.  I also went with them since on a YJ you can drive without the swaybars and I didn't want to soend a lot on something that I might just remove.  I do like JKS's but they cost a lot more.

On my YJ the trac bars are gone, but I run the swaybar most of the time,
because it helps keep the thing going straight when breaking hard...
Without it the jeep tends to pull to the right...
