Does any company that makes disconnects even support a rear end application? If you haven’t tested the additional drop with the driveshaft, brake lines, etc., it’s a disaster waiting to happen. Maybe this guy got lucky. If he had a slip yoke, he could have pulled the rear driveshaft out of the back of the T-case ?. What a moron. Where did he get the idea to disconnect his rear swaybar? Who’s doing this? I would like to have seen some footage of that Jeep going down the trail looking like one of those playground spring riders with almost zero sway control.
I think folks think that disconnecting sway bars is some kind of off road magic. Disconnecting the front and keeping the rear connected is the poor man’s version of a Currie system where you still maintain some control. Having no sway bars ant all is bad. Ideally, Jeeps wouldn’t have a disconnect but a dual rate system front a rear but that kind of system is really hard to do because you really need dynamically changing link length.
The Currie folks would say that no sway bar should be disconnected.
I’d love to have front and rear Anti-Rock but as I increased weight, I had to go the opposite direction in the rear with a stiffer anti-roll bar. I’ve been wishing for a product to come along since my TJ days that was like stock on the street, and an Anti-rock off road. With the JTRD, I’d want an additional towing mode that’s even stiffer than stock when I need it.
