Start to finish, took me about 3 hours. Not terrible, but I'm sore today! Didn't have a chance to play with it, but the drive home felt solid. Can't quite pin it down, but it does handle different, not in a bad way or anything. It feels a little more solid than the factory bar, but at the same time the small events seem more controlled and smoother. Can't wait to try it on the trail next weekend!
You’re going to love not having to disco.
OP
I didn't want to do shocks and the Swayloc at the same time because I wanted to feel the differences, if any, before changing shocks. This should wrap up the last of my refresh items for the season. Hard top will go back on after the Halloween run, then I get to deal with harmonics, again.
I'll be hitting 190K miles by the weekend, to Sunday will likely be cleaning up the muddy mess from Saturday and an oil change. 5" of rain so far in the past 24 hours and counting!

Can you squeeze in the MT’s before the Halloween
Run?! Sounds like you could use them!
OP
Why? Just sell them now while there’s still some tread left. Get $350 for them and go for new ones for another $500 and you’re good to go! That’s my MO
OP
Just spent $700 on the Swayloc. You think I'm made of money? Lol!
OP
My expectations are low with half worn out KO2's in the mud.You answered your own question.
You have a Swayloc.
We will have several days of sunshine with 70 degree weather before the 30th. Shouldn't be too muddy.
Im sure the swayloc is a drop in the bucket next to the 3 grand kids, birthday week, and Christmas coming up soon.
OP
I care not to discuss the bleeding of the monies, lol!
OP
What hole on the arms do you guys suggest I put the end links on? I currently have it on the 2nd. hole from the end and it feels very solid around corners.
Bring the tools to change the holes and we can find a rock to flex on Saturday to find what the correct balance is.
I always ran mine on the loosest setting but I never had a rear swaybar and my shocks were so stiff that I could run without a swaybar. So my preference might not be a good point of reference.
I bought 4 33" Maxxix Razr's through Ebay for ~$900 shipped. They are now on the twins rig. I sold their 32's for $500 with 15-16/32's, and the twins paid me $100 more, so I lost $300 switching out 33's for 32's, but I did get to use the Razr's myself for 9 months. They have 16/32's remaining. I really like that tire. They are very aggressive and hook up amazing. I didn't have any chunking like @NashvilleTJ, but we haven't had them as long as him either, so that may become an issue for us down the road.
I bought 4 35" BFG KM3's for $839 through 4wd.com on sale. I thought that was a really good deal. Can't say I love the tire though. They're just okay. I am hoping my opinion will improve when snow comes. I read they are impressive for an MT on snow.
That is a good price. We have a difference on wheel diameter too...17" tires are way more expensive than 15" for some reason. Less material, so it must be a supply and demand issue...
oh yeah, I forgot you are on 17's. I may end up on 17's one day. It was on my radar this time around. They are quite a bit more expensive.
