I installed JKS kit 2030 (original for a JK) onto my KJ. At stock height, the sway bars links are about the same length, and for both vehicles use 1/2 inch (12mm) hardware at both ends.

The install went pretty well, I used the longer pins with spacer on the bottom, and the shorter pins mounting directly on the sway bar.

The longer pins also require the use of a spacer/bushing that comes with the kit. Putting the bushing on the outside of the sway link seemed to give the best geometry.

Further updates will come as I drive it.

Next step is to figure out a method to hold the sway bar with the links removed.

Note: Incase anyone asks, I have a rubber sleeve (just cut fuel hose) to my longer brake line to prevent damage from rubbing on the clevis.

Got to test the disconnects out today. With the sway bar disconnected, the Jeep can have one front wheel against the bump stop, while the other front wheel is at full droop.

I bent a punch when installing the studs. I made a "tool" from a 3/4 inch nut if/when I need to remove the quick disconnect studs.
Its pretty simple to make, take a 3/4 inch nut drill out all the threads with a 3/4 drill. I used a step drill that had a max size of 3/4 inch.
Then drill two 3/16 holes for the linch pin to pass through. I drilled the 3/16 holes off to one side so I could still use the wrench flats on the nut to hold it in place while torqueing the nuts of the studs.

When re-installing the studs to the sway bar, I used grade 8 1/2-20 regular nuts to replace the stainless nuts that came with the kit.

What did you do with your swaybar? With the steering over, and the lower A arm under, i could not locate a good place to park it.

Ho installato il kit JKS 2030 (originale per una JK) sulla mia KJ. All'altezza di serie, i collegamenti delle barre stabilizzatrici sono più o meno della stessa lunghezza e per entrambi i veicoli si usa hardware da 1/2 pollice (12 mm) a entrambe le estremità.

L'installazione è andata abbastanza bene, ho utilizzato i perni più lunghi con distanziale nella parte inferiore e i perni più corti montati direttamente sulla barra stabilizzatrice.

I perni più lunghi richiedono anche l'uso di un distanziale/boccola in dotazione con il kit. Mettere la boccola all'esterno del collegamento oscillante sembrava dare la geometria migliore.

Ulteriori aggiornamenti arriveranno man mano che la *****.

Il passo successivo è trovare un metodo per tenere ferma la barra stabilizzatrice senza i collegamenti.

Nota: nel caso qualcuno me lo chiedesse, ho messo un manicotto in gomma (ho appena tagliato il tubo del carburante) sul mio tubo del freno più lungo per evitare danni dovuti allo sfregamento contro la forcella.

Salve mi chiamo Daniele,scritto dall'Italia. mi sono appena iscritto al forum. Non capisco ancora bene il funzionamento. Spero che la mia richiesta sia accolta. Ho installato il set jks 2030, installa su un assetto rialzato tutto Ome, dagli ammortizzatori alle molle, vorrei sapere come poter regolare in lunghezza le suddette jks 2030. Ringrazio di cuore chi mi aiuterà.
