    I was hoping this would be demonstrated off-road. I have a stock height 98’ on 31’s. Would you recommend sway bar disconnects for a stock height Jeep? They are priced much cheaper than a nice 2-3 inch lift. Or would you say a lift will be much better investment?

    • @SmokinMonkeyOG
      @SmokinMonkeyOG  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Lift would definitely be a better investment but the price of the two is so much apart. I would get both. The Lyft will cost you hundreds if not thousands and the links will be like 100 bucks so if you want to do just the links first to see how much better it will be then you can definitely do that it’s nice and cheap but if you get the lift kit I would get both

    • @crabbypadty393
      @crabbypadty393 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@SmokinMonkeyOG that’s what I was thinking. Thanks!

    • @SmokinMonkeyOG
      @SmokinMonkeyOG  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Always better to do the cheaper mod and see if you need more. Or upgrade once you hit your limit off road and want to do bigger more tough obstacles and trails

  • @chrisanderson4044
    @chrisanderson4044 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is it recommended to disconnect the sway bar on off camber portions of the trail? Or more so for just obstacles?

    • @SmokinMonkeyOG
      @SmokinMonkeyOG  ปีที่แล้ว

      We disconnect ours at the beginning of the trail and don’t connect till we get back on paved roads. Gives you a better ride off road

  • @PristineReviews
    @PristineReviews 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    i was out wheeling a week or so ago go into some gnarly angles with the sway bar connected and just today i noticed my passenger side got disconnected some how lol

  • @remispappy
    @remispappy 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Did you only do the front sway bar links? Do you plan to get Jks rear sway bar links?

    • @SmokinMonkeyOG
      @SmokinMonkeyOG  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Just the front. I don’t plan to do jks in the rear. Possibly Currie anti rock but then I’ll be doing both front and rear. At the moment the rear doesn’t bother me it all works as it should.

    Here I am in an empty parking lot and some dude has to walk his dog right through it when he clearly sees me driving in circles.

  • @chaliHustles
    @chaliHustles 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you need to disconnect if your doing just dirt trails and would disconnect if you were on a dirt trail?

    • @SmokinMonkeyOG
      @SmokinMonkeyOG  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No I only disconnect when I want more flex for crawling obstacles. Dirt trails you’ll be fine

  • @TheRedStateBlue
    @TheRedStateBlue 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    no, you don't NEED sway bar disconnects... but having them makes playing offroad way easier.

  • @NEWFSTAH
    @NEWFSTAH 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Did you invert the rear passenger spring?

    • @SmokinMonkeyOG
      @SmokinMonkeyOG  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Drivers side. I did it in the video after this one I believe

  • @maddrummer910
    @maddrummer910 ปีที่แล้ว

    You think climbing us a hill sideways and having the bar disconnected would make the truck more likely to roll over?

    • @SmokinMonkeyOG
      @SmokinMonkeyOG  ปีที่แล้ว

      You know that’s a good question lol I think it would make you lean over more and make it more likely to roll but I haven’t been in this situation because climbing sideways usually doesn’t end well so I try to avoid getting sideways on slopes myself.

  • @jeffreyrue4569
    @jeffreyrue4569 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Do you have the rear anti-sway bar removed?

    • @SmokinMonkeyOG

      Nope I have the stock one still
