Eibach sway bars???

Coming from a Rubicon 392 - always had the electronic sway bar disconnect, which made a huge difference when off-road. Super easy too - just hit the button.

Looks like the Metalcloak sway bar disconnects would do the trick, however will require getting under the car to disconnect / reconnect.

Came across the Agile Apex AirLYNX Disconnects - which appear to allow you to leave connected and only adjust the air pressure. But - they say they are for the REAR. They don't state FRONT, which is all I'm after.


Has anyone tried these out yet? And are they only for the rear or will they work for the front? I did send Agile an email this morning asking for clarification, but also curious if anyone here has any experience with these?

Any input appreciated.
@derek0343 had them installed. See his post here. I believe he is still waiting on the front to be released.

Solid info, thanks for posting.
 
Closing the loop on this. The fox 2.5 is a notable improvement. I'm still a bit too heavy for my rear springs so I'm going to add the eibach 500lbs HD springs to the rear (+1.4") and to correct the front rake I'll install the eibach 1.7" front springs.

This should be great for my standard daily driver load and work well for when loaded up for camping. Just in case I'm towing something heavy I'm going to add airbagman bags to the rear. It's cost effective to do while I'm replacing the springs anyway and seems like cheap insurance.

I've sent a note to airbag man in Australia to find the right part number for the bags when using the HD springs (unless someone here knows)?

Afer driving this for a while I'll make a call if swaybar is needed or not. I suspect I won't need it.

I've talked to another member who have this setup for similar reasons and I've talked extensively with someone who works on Grenadier suspension all the time including doing race support and this has become the consensus amongst all the folks I've talked to

And yes, I acknowledge that I'm basically becoming a habitual modder and tinkerer on my Grenadier!

The suspension in the rear has poor link geometry that only gets worse with any lift at all. This causes serious rise of the rear under braking. Increasing rear spring rates will help immensely.

I'm getting them fitted on August 14th.
Compatible with the eibach HD springs?

My bad. There are different kits for standard versus lifted suspension. You want this kit for a 25-30mm raised suspension.

I've fixed my post above so it doesn't throw anyone else off track.
