Thinkin of quick disconnects for rear after the lift...

[06 H3]

Sway bar mount broke? You have pics?

Disconnect for the trail only; it's not that hard to reconnect. You don't really realize what sway bars do for you on the street until your minding your own business cruising down the street and some idiot cuts you off.

My 3 was disco'd on the street for the last 5 months I had it, and my JK (which is MUCH looser) hasn't been connected since last fall.

I think if I had to drive them daily I'd reconnect for sure... no question, but I've been to Moab & back disco'd in the 3 a few times & the JK twice now... not really a big deal, but it could make a bad situation worse for sure. Probably not the best choice considering how little work it really takes to simply reconnect. (my links are bent & broken on my JK, so little more complicated)

looks like your diff breather needs a little help too. lol
im gonna get some 7/16x2.5 universal clevis pins and some hitch pins and do what 06H3 did for discos.

whats weird is that disconnecting one side of the sway bar is putting LESS stress on the mount, with them both connected you have them fighting and pulling against each other

I've done sway bar work on several H3s and those mounting bolts commonly snap off. GM uses very soft bolts on these, and I replace them with better versions....with plenty of anti-seize of course.

On the rear...you can usually vise-grip the broken bolt from the underside of the bracket and spin it out the bottom. Unfortunately, the fronts always need drilled out because there is no access to the backside.

I use Spohn discos...nice stuff. They make several lengths and you can cut them to fit....
