This free 20 Min mod vastly improved my Jimny's offroad performance!!
I've been running mine without an anti roll bar for years now. Agree with most of what you've said, but I also do lots of main road driving at up to 90mph with no problems.
For those wanting to try it before comitting, or looking for a "sway bar disconnect" option, you can simply remove the drivers side drop link and get 90% of the benefits for just a couple of minutes spannering. The disconnect kits available also require removing 2 bolts, so there is little advantage to them.
On otherwise standard suspension the standard brake lines are long enough and the springs won't dislocate.
With a disconnect the anti rolll bar stays exactly where it is. In the centre it is split into 2 pieces, with 1 sliding over the other. The disconnect is in the middle of the anti roll bar and has either a pin or bolt that joins the 2 sides together.
If one of the front wheels are lifted off the ground, will the spring fall out and are the brake lines long enough?
The shock absorbers are what limit the down travel, if those are stock length or close to it, there should be no danger of the springs coming loose, or the brake hoses being stretched to the maximum - if the shocks are longer than stock, then it may be possible, depending on how much longer the shocks are, for either or both situations to arise.
Interesting read. Possibly something I will try one day.
Busta - I assume MOT time is no problem or do you refit it?
I suppose it's no different than my Series 2 Land Rover, no anti roll bar on that and no major issues at MOT in three days when it require one.
