Strokez just had his superlift put on and the first few minutes offroad his superlink sway bar connection (longer than stock) broke off. Definitely a manufacturer defect. It came apart at the seams.....literally. We only articulated a bit wasn't even a bad spot. More like a pothole.

Yep it was a bit disappointing. Going to contact superlift today to see if they will cover. Also experienced the same issue KMAX and a few others had with the rr wheels going forward into the fender flares. Needless to say I have to buy stock in those little plastic clips!!! All in all it was a great outing and lots of fun.

Ran to the install shop during lunch and they agree that this was a part failure. They are contacting superlift to get two replacements FoC. Should be back to normal soon. The sway bar links they supplied are just pressed together. If they come like that the install shop will weld the ends to make sure this doesn't happen again. Would be nice if JKS or JeepinbyAl can come up with some adjustable quick connect links.....I know they are in the works, but shall see.

Thats disappointing news especially for the price they charge for their lifts. I think El Cid is running BDS front and superlift Rear.
Bummer about those links. Let me know if Superlift gives you fits about it, as I might be able to apply some pressure in that regard.
@Sal: Nope. I had full BDS and then went to full Superlift with the exception of a prototype rear set-up that alleviates the issues (one already noted above) with the rear of the current Superlift kit.
@Knappster: I'm hoping to have something to share soon.

Thanks for the offer and will let you know. I may try out those JBA front quick disconnects - website claims they are available for the public now.

Sort of good news here. Superlift is sending the replacements out this week free of charge. Bad news is that they didn't even wink at it so this must have happened before. Still - good that they are backing their product.

If your refering to the rear sway bar end links, JKS makes a set of adjustable quick disconnects. Your not going to break these. I promise!

Maybe, maybe not. It's also just not an expensive part to replace.Originally Posted by strokeZ
