I have a 02 Liberty sport with a franken 2.5" lift and Jeepin by Als upper control arms. I have amazing articulation with the rear axle, but the front end is just not the case. Has anyone ever installed a sway bar quick disconnect on the IFS and if so, what were the results? It is driven on the road, but i happen to live in a part of the country with some really good ORV parks and I do play in them.

Not really a good thing on an IFS with the CVs and a lift one of the limiting factors of a Kj and not having a SFA. You'd be better off with an LSD or DTT to help compensate.

Not a good idea really, what little you may gain is not worth the hassle
Plus in some cases it may even let it droop just enough to put extra stress on the CVs.

Yes a LSD is defiantly on the list. I wheel with, JK's and I sometimes have my work cut out for me trying to follow their line with there SFA and sway bar disconnects.

Somewhere between being sane and insane!

Don't follow there lines.I'm SFA'd and still don't disco my front bar and have more flex then a similar equipped JKU.I've never disco'd my front bar even when IFS.

The extreme example with the discos on larger ifs lifts is the cv comming out of the diff as the front wheels droop.

General opinion is they are also noisy. 95% plus don't run disconnects.
