Default L8 Quick Disconnects

Does anyone have a picture of these installed on the front sway bar? I have two large funky washers left over and am unsure where they go.

Thanks, Erik. Let me see if I can can describe it more clearly.

It's the two large non-flat unquie looking washers. There sort of concaved in the center.

Thanks for the photo.

Our manufacturer makes these for us and for several other models. Sometimes we get extra hardware, and in this case that is what happened.

No worries, Erik. I ended up NOT finding a use for the washers. I have the quick discos installed and everything went well with the installation. Thanks for taking my call today.

I will add that the bolt that goes through the axle bracket (on either side) is a hair too thick. You need to "careful" thread the supplied bolt through the axle bracket opening and into the threads on the quick release dowel pin.


Question:
Is there a suggested height I should default the sway bar too? Should the sway bar sit at a specific degree with respect to the axle?

I wanted to extend my gratitude to the Lucky8 crew for taking my call the other day and guiding me through install. Erik, the install went well and I am completely happy with the end result.

*If anyone is contemplating removal of the F&R sways before hitting the trails,





Here's a little flex action from Rausch Creek yesterday.

Lucky8, feel free to post these pics on your website
