I searched the forum and I think this info is new. If not I'll put the anti flame jacket on. :crying:

Cheaply lifted H3, like mine (torsion bar turns):giggling: do not have an optimal swaybar position. After lifting it's not parallel to the lower control arm. Ideally you want to put the swaybar back into its original position. That would let the truck exhibit its normal side to side vertical movements (in cornering etc..). So far nothing new.

The problem is finding one that fits the H3. After some googling I think I found a nice type of adjustable swaybar link to solve this problem for whatever torsion bar setting (lift) you have. This company also has an H3 kit. What do you guys think?

He is also on ebay so communication should be easy.

what about a quick disconnect link?

You want to have pie and eat it too;) Haven't found one yet. I think you would need to custom fab (modify) it from a suitable swaybar link.

Nice find. I've been doing some half-assed searches and found a couple things. This one looks pretty stout and his price doesn't seem too out of line compared to similar products.

As far as a disco for the front, I don't really see the need. The only down pressure will be from the shock so you won't really gain much traction. Plus you're already limited by the lower stop so there probably isn't much more room to droop anyways.

I agree completely. Although there is some droop, the independant front suspension system does not transmit downward pressure from one corner to the other corner. i.e. no significant traction. But it looks cool:dancingbanana:

We should have adjustables for the front and quick disco's for the rear.....:D

Adjustable links are for track racing applications. Won't do squat for an off road vehicle. Best thing you can do to them is to get quick disconnects, but even then you will notice only marginal articulation improvements.

I disco the front IFS on a Toyota truck and didn't notice anything so there probably wouldn't be an imprvement on the H3 either.

Correct. But I'll use them just to have the swaybar at the correct position. You can adjust them if you have 2X, 4X, 8X etc torsion bar turns.

Adjustable front swaybar links seem like a good idea, but I'm still on the fence. Rear disconnects are already on my wish list.

Exactly:)
