Anyone knows when to find LONGER than Oem Stabilizer Sway Bar LINKS to install on my Lifted Disco 1 ?
Thanks

 

When u lift the d1 u remove the sway bars

 

Not necessarily. In fact, I plan on adding a rear sway bar back to my rig when I finish my '95.
If you look at any rock crawler or KOH vehicle they all run sway bars.
You can still get plenty of articulation with a properly set up sway bar.


The problem with the D1 swaybars is the links are too short. When you raise the truck 2" it puts the swaybar at a weird angle. Then when your suspension flexes it flips the swaybar links and makes things even worse. Most people just yank the swarbays. The problem with that is when you get into really long shocks and/or spring cones the truck gets real tippy.


To answer the OP's question.... No, nobody makes direct replacement longer swaybar links. You can either space the swaybar mount down, or make custom links.
Here's a stock swaybar fitted to a Defender 110 with custom longer links.

 

I still have my bars Lying in the yard but the front needs relocating IMO instead of under the driveshaft

The rear one like you said needs longer links, I honestly did not notice a difference with the bars removed

 

I haven't read a good explanation for sway bars on a rock crawler yet. I agree that many run them, but nobody seems to be able to explain why. How would an anti-sway bar make the vehicle less tippy? It would make it more tippy because it limits flex and will lift wheels that would otherwise remain planted.

The only explanation I can think for them, is the fact that KoH cars RACE. The Ultra-4 class has a lot of venues outside KoH, and all of them are even more like a desert race. The cars are racing at high speeds through turns. That is the best reason for a sway bar.

Still, I see pure rock crawlers with them as well. I don't know why. It should be easy to explain how they function in crawling, but I haven't read it yet.

X-eng makes a rear sway bar: Suspension

Another way to go would be to modify a popular kit like the Currie Antirock: Currie Enterprises 4x4 Rear Ends Antirock

 

A fried of mine has the X-Eng on his D1. He says its great, better than stock.


Modifying a Currie will be my second choice after trying to make the cheap bastard stock one work.


You may be right as far as the rock crawlers go. But there's definitely benefits to anything that will be driven at a high rate of speed, whether its at KOH or down the highway.
