Lifted Gen 2 swaybars ?

Post by slpdesign99 » Sun Aug 12, 2007 2:57 pm

I help a friend of mine fit new KYB outback struts and Rasied HD king springs to his 1996 Gen 2 liberty LX wagon (Looks tuff) pics to come :)

my question is with the amout of suspension drop the swaybar links are at extreme angles.

I have heard in the rear you swap the control arms over and run them upside down so the C links are on the top. - is thid OK ??

what about the front???

The car is fitted with
Front : - standard swaybar.
rear: Whiteline blade adjustable softest setting

is there any other isuue to consider??

any help would be great.

rear end swap the control arms over.

front end there is not much you can do. you should have gone a 2" body lift and less suspension lift.. would have resulted in much nicer swaybar link and driveshaft angles...

yeah but he got the suspension at a discounted price (cheap) (rased were the same as standard).

Yeah he is going to swap the rears over. - the thing is not for extreme of road just getting to the beach for surfing and snow.

(we went from kings lows to rasied (huge difference)

the driveshaft angles dont look to bad

for the front we are thinking of getting some rose joint on a threaded shaft to replace the lastc block. That way the angle of the mount want be an issue and we can adjust the right amount of tension onto ti to make the swaybar work.

anyone see any issue with this ??
