XJ Flex

[gorilla_skater]

I tried to flex the XJ suspension a little yesterday. This is with the 2.5" rear AAL with rear sway bar removed, and stock springs with ACOS and front sway bar connected. It looks like the rear is flexing OK, but not so much in the front. I didn't realize the right rear wheel was of fthe ground until I saw the second pic full-size. Any idea how much more front flex can I expect with the front sway bar disconnnected?

BTW - Geoff cannot wait for the trail ride this weekend  :mrgreen:

You are going to get a TON more flex with the front disco'ed.  You'll love it!!!

I used to bend the front sway bar links when I tried to flex with them connected.  Too much wheeling with them connected and they'll break.  When your going to go wheeling, just unbolt them and zip tie the sway bar up out of the way. (heavy duty zip ties).  Just bolt the connectors back in when you get home. 

If you have good shocks, then it won't be that bad without them (just drive easy on the rode).

Right on Beaker. They are already bent. I noticed it when I installed the ACOS. For now I'll just unbolt them for MM.
