Very Nice!!!!!! Question: Should the sway bars point that far off parallel from the ground? Is there some sort of suggested angle on sway bars anyway?

Nice build, did you remove the factory sway bar disconnect and go with an anti-rock in the front instead?

Not sure if you’re looking at the pictures of it on the ground or on the jack stands but yes, the sway bar should point up otherwise there’s a chance of reversal if they are at straight 90.

Yes, I’ve had a few Rubicon’s now and I always seem to be having problem’s with the solenoid on there and I know Evo makes a disconnect, but I still like to have a little sway bar while doing/going mild+ off roading.

Super nice! Great work! Did it all yourself? Looks great!
Thank you. Yes, I have installed all of it….. I’ve installed two long arms kit’s now, not that hard at all…… a shop will do the final alignment, which won’t happened till the end of the year after the axles……

John Currie explains in this video at the 6:00 mark.

The arms should be oriented so they are parallel to the ground when the suspension is in the middle of it's travel.
