    question for people with sway bar disconnects

    What do you do with the sway bar once it's disconnected, just let it rest on the bar below (not sure what it's called or is there a preferred method of holding it up?

    Thanks as always for any suggestions

    I've seen them tied up with bungee cord.

    Could just disconnect one and leave the other attached... It'll still go up and down but won't limit sway.

    I was wondering about just doing one side, does it still allow decent flex in the front, as long as the free end can't hit anything that would be great .

    I've got the sway bar disconnects on mine after i bent and snapped one of the originals. So far I've not undone them to gain the extra flex. Too lazy I think

    I just thought after going to the trouble of fitting the lift kit I should try it before the enthusiasm ran out, like you I suspect that I'm too lazy to disconnect often.

    I have a set that I will be fitting to my Silver P38 when I install the lift kit. It will be a regime to disconnect the swaybar at the same time I lower my tyre pressures for low range driving. It's like putting underwear on really :-p

    I am off to the glasshouse mountains tomorrow so I will try to remember my underwear!

    I will be giving the disconnecting a go as well, might take a bungee or leave it hanging, so much to decide !

    On my D2 I just cable tie the disconnect link back up to the sway bar. It disconnects at the bottom. Carry a handful of cable ties and a set of side cutters in the passengers door pocket.

    I only have a disconnect on one side. It greatly increases the amount of down travel on the front axle. The D2 lifts a front wheel pretty easily when it's still connected.

    Just make sure you reconnect when back on the black top.

    Well I went with just disconnecting one side just to get an idea of the difference it might make, didn't seem to make it a death trap in the 5 minute drive on tarmac back to my mates place after the drive and seemed to help with front end flex, as hopefully the pictures show
