A tunnel and it looks like it goes to a dirt bike.
Looks like a rear anti-rock to me.

I know what it is, and I knew before you did, haha. A little birdie told me at our last get together.

Alright well anyway.... it's a sway lok, and I need to know how long I need to make the links??????
they send 3 different sections each to combine as needed, and I need to know what combination to combine them?

Long enough so they don't invert at full droop, short enough that they don't go into the wheel well at full stuff. Getting them close to level at ride height is the goal, but only if they don't invert at full droop - that's much more important. Time to do a little flex testing.

Well there you have it folks!
very excited to try this bad boy out
It's been 12 hours now. Since you're young and don't need sleep, I'd guess you have at least 100 miles on it by now.
How do you like it?
Sorry for my ignorance… I’m relatively new to this jeep stuff. What’s the point of this? I get that it’s some sort of replacement for a sway bar, but why?

Similar to a factory sway bar but you can easily disconnect it which lets the front axle articulate more, which is beneficial off-road.

Well, I don’t have one, but I would guess the ease of disconnecting. From my understanding, you don’t even have to bend over, just slide the lever (or whatever it technically is called). Plus, with the OEM away bar, you only have whatever stiffness it is. With the sway-loc, it’s adjustable so you can tune it to a stiffer or less stiff sway bar.
Quick disconnects work well too. I had JKS ones on my Jeep for a few years before I installed a Currie Anti-Rock.

This is a dual rate sway bar. That means there is a ”stiff” setting which is similar or just a bit stiffer than stock, and also a “softer” setting similar to an Antirock. Unlike a full disconnect, there is still sway control in the softer setting which is much better offroad than a disconnect.

I love it, it feels just a but more tight on turns which is nice, haven't had a chance to try it off road tho

Alright, got everything buttoned up, the bumper trimmed and ready too go!
And big thanks to @MountaineerTom for this Diff skid, I hit multiple times at Uwharrie last time, so Tom graciously gifted me this.
