Curious if those TF disco's are meant for a certain amount of lift? The angle of your sway bar connected looks pretty severe

TF has them listed for 1.5”-4” of lift and yes it looks severe however after driving with them at this angle I can say I haven’t had any issues at this time, roughly about 1,000 miles at this point.

I'm not the all knowing but a straight center swaybar "don't know if it's level, up angled or down it just works at keeping both ends at same plane through resisting twist of the bar. AKA a torsion bar. Now the length of arm can make it more resistance or less like 12 ratchet wrench vs 24in breaker bar. I think a good example is TJ factory front swaybar vs Curry Anti-Rock swaybar.

I think I read while installing jks discos that 5° angled up is ideal. I can’t tell you the reasoning why other than it's similar to the factory setting

Not sure myself if it matters but thought I'd pass along the info

Update time! Spring break is here and that means camping trip time. I’ve seen “other” delete/ platform kits but of course I felt it in my power and free time to build my own. I’ll be testing it out the rest of the week in the Gila and make necessary changes when I get back.

Update... The Z automotive Tazer Mini lite vs not-lite. Sooooo do yourself a favor and spend the extra for the full mini if you plan on doing any additional upgrades like replacing lights. The process to upgrade isn’t bad but seriously had I known then what I know now I wouldn’t have penny-pinched. Now, holy cow all the extra’s are definitely worth the upgrade on the firmware like not having my belt chime go off is such a wonderful thing or even better getting to change the splash screen.

I also went ahead picked up an Alpicool cooler with a Bluetti power generator and Rockpals solar panel. Now I gotta find time to use em...
