    I have a 2 inch lift and no sway bars and I can handle our farm road at well over 80kmh.

    Our Jeep Wrangler gets unsettled at 60.
    Our Jeep WJ gets unsettled at 50.

    The longer springs and shockies seem to absorb bumps and corrugations way better than standard suspension.

    I think you'll find the thing that affects handling the most by far is the shock absorbers. The sway bars will have more to do with the balance of the handling apart from sway control.

    My Defender is excellent on corrugations
    2 Inch lift with Koni Raids and the Firestone inserts in the rear springs
    Just adjust the air pressure to adjust the spring rate and you can get it perfect.

    I fitted the front sway bar to my County, welding the chassis brackets on, from off my RRC. It has made a world of difference when towing the CT having both front and rear, and decent shocks of course. I'm about to try a rear full airspring conversion on the rear, so hope to improve the road manners even more.

    High speed dirt feels very stable, and lower tyre pressures soak up the corrugations and save the shocks.

    I drive my 110 with firm suspension, Bilsteins, and tyre pressure at around 25-30psi for corrugations and the ride is smooth and predictable, I did about 700km in one day on the Tanami last year and it was a good ride.

    FYI, if you order on the X-Eng web site, it will automatically deduct VAT and calculate freight for you.

    Have they beefed up the link arms on the D flex kits yet? A couple of Aulro members were twisting theirs, I recall from a year or so ago.

    Thank you Pat. Not going too badly considering. Emotions are still quite raw, but with support from friends and family, each day gets a little easier.
