    Lifting body to remove rear dynamic sway bar

    Hi All,
    Looking to replace the rear dynamic sway bar on my 2008 TDV8. Can I lift the back of the body a couple of inches without disconnecting everything involved in getting the body off? Which body mounts would I undo, just the back 6 or all of them?
    Looking for feedback from someone who has actually done this.
    Cheers
    Lee

    I lifted the rear of my D4 enough to replace its standard sway bar by removing rear bolts and loosening the front bolts, without any need to disconnect anything else. I removed the back 4 bolts totally as the mount next to the sway bar had to be removed to slide out the sway bar.

    Thanks Graeme, I was hoping so, can anyone with a RRS confirm this was possible on their vehicle.

    I wonder if you could do this the other way around, so just the front ?
