Rubicon Express Gen2 Sway Bar Disconnects

If you are a Jeeper who enjoys hitting the rails then the chances are good that before you do, you disconnect the sway bar in your Jeep.  By doing this, the front axle of your Jeep has more articulation.  Disconnecting a solid sway bar for the front axle is not really a difficult thing to do.  Just hold a wrench to the bolt and the socket in order to take the nut out.  However, you will still need to have the proper sized tools at hand to accomplish this.  Also, taking off the end links might be pretty easy, but when it comes to replacing them, that is a whole ‘nother ball game.  What better solution for this issue than a quick disconnect for the sway bar in the front of your Jeep?  With the Gen2 disconnects that are made by Rubicon Express, there is a lynch pin on each side that you will need to pull.  Do this and the sway bar will instantly be disconnected and your solid front axle will be free to really move.  Being able to flex more means that your off road stability and handling will be better.

Now, with the Gen2 disconnects, the easiest and quickest way to increase your wheel travel couldn’t be any easier!  Once you disconnect the sway bar, you no longer need to find a place to keep those ends links safe.  There is a retainer for the lynch pins that you can use to attach the end links to a location that is remote so that you will be able to achieve the maximum in terms of steering clearance.  This disconnect has rod ends that are spherical and proprietary bushings that are made from urethane and offer you a ride that is quiet.  All of the 6061 – T6 retainers have been crafted from aluminum while the links and the axle pins have been plated in nickel.  The pin connectors have been anodized and the entire kit has been given a clear anodized finish so that the parts look clean but they are also imbued with a resistance to corrosion.

This Gen2 disconnect kit has been designed to give you the quickest and easiest way to disconnect the sway bar.  Once the sway bar has been disconnected, the disconnects will swing out of your way and then it will lock into place in order to ensure that it doesn’t get in your suspension system’s way.

Rubicon Express Exhaust Spacer Kit

If you have given or are thinking about giving your Jeep a lift of more than 3 inches then you will need to also install a set of exhaust spacers.  This is for Jeeps with model years of 2012 and newer.  These spacers are to be installed right in between the passenger and drive head pipe flanges and the flanges that are on the exhaust cross pipe that moves this cross pipe to the rear.  This will prevent any contact with the front drive shaft and the cross pipe for the exhaust while the suspension is in downward travel.

Extreme Duty Long Arm System

This was the very first of the radius long arm suspension kits that were available for the Wrangler JK.  It has been engineered in such a way that it works with the electronic stability controls in your Jeep as well as with the electronic sway bar that is made by Rubicon while not making any compromises on safety.  It features the world renowned radius ling arms that are made from chromoly and the geometry has been designed so that it keeps the drive shaft and the pinion angles in place while eliminating that unnecessary jacking or squat of the suspension.

The chromoly tubing that is used for the lower control arms is 2 inches x .250 wall and it can take serious off road abuse.  This long arm system when coupled with the Rubicon Express shocks that have been correctly valved will allow your JK to transmit the input from the throttle to the wheels over a variety of terrains, ensuring that you get traction that is sure footed as well as positive feedback from the suspension.  The end result is on road handling that is superior and an off road performance that is unrivaled.  All of this while also not needing to disable the safety features that were installed by the factory.  If you get this in the 3.5 inch lift version, you will be able to add tires up to 35 inches tall.  The 4.5 inch version will accommodate tires up to 37 inches tall.  Both version will require modifications to be made to your drive line as well as an alignment after installation.

Rubicon Express Lift Kits Tutorials Part 2 | Photo

     I've received some feedback regarding the post Rubicon Express Lift Kits Tutorial Part 1 | Video .  Not everyone has a router strong enough for them to get a signal on their iPad or laptop to stream video way out in their garage while they are D.I.Y.ing their Rubicon Express lift.  Okay, I get that.  So here is Part Two, a list of online tutorials that are text and photo based.  They can be printed on paper and easily accompany the at-home mechanic into the garage.

Lift Your Jeep On The Cheap

     A lot of people think that the only reason to lift a vehicle is to climb obstacles on the most difficult of off-road courses.  Certainly, a lifted vehicle is going to be able to meet off-road challenges that a stock vehicle simply can not.  But off-roading is not the only reason to invest in a Rubicon Express Lift Kit.  It is worth exploring some of the other benefits.

How Long Is YOUR Arm?

     Is the suspension on your Jeep sacked out enough that you might as well have 2WD?  Are the stock size tires rubbing the fenders at every ugly pothole you pass?  Or maybe you've already installed a Super-flex or Super-Ride on your XJ or Cherokee and you are ready to reach even higher.  Either way, what you are looking for is the Rubicon Express XJ, the Extreme Duty Long Arm Upgrade by Rubicon Express.  The Rubicon Express Extreme Duty Long Arm Upgrade provides the driveability you desire in on-road and off-road conditions.
