Building These Disco's. Opinions?

[Robert_Strausberg]

Dana 35 rear or 30 front?

Howdy,

Has anyone made the stock sway bars into these disco's according to www.rockcrawler.com/techreports/budgetdisconnects/ ?

Does everything hold up? How about Tine Pin size? I suppose I could grind them down from the 1/2" x 2", but always would like to avoid that. Any size recommended that will just fit in there well?

Thanks!

Jhiggins built a set of these and I have seen them in action. They worked great and Josh never had any complaints.

interesting, i was thinkin about doin that 2 years ago when i put my lift on but i thought it would fail and the pin would break but after i went thru 2 sets of discos breaking on me i figure i got nuthin to lose, im gunna try that this week with my extended sway bar links from my lift that i never used. ill let u know how they turn out...

I made a set for my ZJ and a friend's XJ.. no trouble with them yet.. though i would strongly getting one extra set (pin, 2 washers & clip) in case you drop a piece in the dirt and can't locate it..... that way you can still hook back up before hitting the highway. also, you want a short bungee cord to tie the sway bar up & out of the way when disconnected. oh, and i used 7/16" pins.. they go in real smooth...

Sounds great, guys!

I'll have to go stop by the shop tomorrow.

Thanks!

Prior to lifting my YJ, used that set up for my rear trac bar! Now with a lift, the springs flex too much and rip the heck out of the body, so I keep the trac bar on!

Howdy,

Well, I put eveything on there. It seems the 7/16" pins are slighty loose. Is this bad? Should the sway bar be on there tight?

I notice it "tips" just slighty more on turns.

a little slop won't kill yoiu... thats whee the extra roll comes from.. mine does that too... if you wanna fight with the 1/2" pins go for it, but the 7/16 fit nice..... also make sure you're on there good & tight with the clip and have washers on either end of it....

Re: '87 wrangler ????

Sounds good. I didn't get a washer for one side. Only have the stock washer on there now. Will have to pick up another two tomorrow morning. Any recommended washer size? Same size as stock, I would assume would be fine?

take a pin with you to get proper inner diameter.. i fund a standard 3/8 washer fit perfect....
