    I used to wheel a Blazer, the front axles don't hold to much abuse.

    It's a s10 based blazer, their front ends ALWAYS need something!

    That thing still got all the cosmetics I hated about my wife's blazer (one of my most hated factory wheels, the grill I don't like, early 2nd gen mirrors...).

    looks like "quicker" disconnects, but not quick enough lol. I saw in another pic you had those lynch pins... why didn't you use those? I would have atleast used them after the wing-nuts to prevent them from accidentally spinning off while driving.

    Or you could just ditch the sway bar all together lol That thing has torsion bars in the front and leafs out back, correct? If so, i'd say you will be fine. I didn't run sway bars on both lifted trucks that I had that had torsion bars. Thats the ultimate quickest disconnect lol

    I've been running no front or rear sways on my XJ. With 4.5" of lift and coils up front... I think that thing prefers to have it on tho, so the front will be going back on in the near future.

    Kinda reminds me of the Jimmy I had more than a few years ago....



    It didn't do too bad offroad, but I do like the solid axle on my Jeep better.

    ZR2s did pretty well. Especially if you upgrade to the full size truck idler arm.
