    Default Lift and sway bars

    found a Lift on craigslist that im going to buy its 4.5 inchs of rough country so im stepping up from my 3 inch lift. it comes with the coils. the leafs and lower controll arms. hes only asking 50 bucks so i think ill do it. Is there more i will need to buy then what comes with it? i think mine came withh all that besides the controll arms. Also how different would my car drive on normal road if i were to remove both my front and rear sway bars. ive heard both that it would drive like crap and that i wouldnt be able to tell a differnce. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP GUYS!

    On the sway bars, the rear to me is pointless. I pulled the rear bar before I even got the 4x4 to work....

    There are different opinions on the front. I prefer to have mine on the street with a 4.5" lift, but I have disconnects. Mine "feels" like it maneuvers and stops more controlled on pavement with the front sway bar attached.

    But, that's just my opinion. Maybe remove the rear, and disconnect the front and cautiously try it and see?

    If its street driven go front disconnects and remove the rear. A buddy of mine had a broken front disco at one point so he disconnected the front sway bar till the new ones came in. He ended up rolling his XJ because of it. So better safe than sorry.
