Thread: Slick Rock Sway Bar Disconnects

Be aware tho, if you have longer travel shocks, and disconnect the roll bar, the front springs will dislocate, so "Imo" you need to fit them inconjunction with either front spring retainers, or dislocation cones.

Thanks Nick,

I'm running a 2 inch lift at the moment...will that be an issue with the disconnects?
I have access to a fork lift so after I do the install I can test the flex/movement to see if there are any problems...
If there is an issue do have any recommendations for retainers/cones??

I'm offshore at the moment so it will three weeks or so until I start the job

and that is different to a discovery 1 that never had swaybars in what way ?

As Roscoe said, RRC's, D1's, 90/110's and plenty of other cars never had anti-roll bars fitted so I'm not quite sure what your point is ?

Getting APT Fabrication in Brissy to make some front spring retainers (bottom).
They do them for $18 for D1, RRC etc so would assume it would be about the same $$. Should be next week sometime.

I'll report back in case others are interested.
