    Here are some pics....

    Found out my drivers side coil has always been hitting my sway bar since the lift has been put on. I have always heard a loud clunk going over speed bumps and this must be what it is. I have the OME 886 coils. Help me out with more info please. Thank You.

    Has anyone had this problem?

    What causes it?

    How can I fix it?

    You could pull off the sway bar.



    I pulled mine 2 years ago. Yes, more body roll, but its not bad and pretty easy to get used to. My wife didn't even notice.

    Did you install the sway bar relocation brackets?

    ^^^
    I did think about removing the sway bar and I might. But what are these relocation brackets you speak of? I've never heard of this problem or these brackets before.

    Thanks

    Thank you!!!
    I never knew about this after all these years! I had 4 wheel parts put it on years back and they never said a word about this. I also thought I did ton of research before the lift so I could do it right the first time. I still have never came across this for some reason. I'm on this site pretty much daily..... crazy stuff!!! Well looks like ill be getting this now!

    I currently have my sway bar off, and it's going back on before next time I drive it. I've had it off for a week now, and I just can't get over the increased body roll. Sketches me out way too much.

    Aha same here. Around certain turns it's fun, but faster ones scare me.

    Removed mine a few years ago and not going back. Running OME 885's. It will get rid of the feeling of the front end shifting when you hit a bump in the road with it gone. The suspension can actually work independent not being connected with that bar.

    I have the relocate kit too somewhere, never put it on. Been happy with it off, body roll isn't bad at all to me.

    I took mine off too after installing fox midtravel coilovers with 700# springs. It will roll a bit more in turns, but you just have to be weary of swerving and evasive maneuvers. Especially swerving and braking. Stock height is bad enough, lifted is worse. The extra off road articulation and being smoother over bumps was worth it to me, but I leave a lot of space in front of me when I drive these days. just something to keep in mind.
