    Honestly with no sway bars the rear floats around pretty bad. Will be getting a whiteline 24mm rear sway bar and disconnects at some point. Just need to find somebody who makes quality disconnects and find out what length they need to be.I gotta say it's all worth it when it's in the bush though, rear 4 link works a treat. I also need to do something about the front end so it can match up to the rear a bit more, thinking that superior superflex arms would be better than the snake racing arms but i'll have to do a bit of research into that one first.

    Nutts looking patrol mate.
    The Nissan rear disconnect is tough as nuts, and a bloke in boardertown does extension units, you just need the original unit to start..

    If you wanta sway bar try a currie industries anti-rock or Aurora custom fab sway bar. They requrie fabrication to install. but you are already running a 4 link so if you get pulled over you are already in trouble.
    Definatly go the superflex arms, you cant go wrong.

    EDIT. using these sway bars in the link below you dont need disconnects.

    Definitely looks like a good unit, could end up being a bit more than I was wanting to spend but it's definitely a better idea. Will have to assess my options. Pretty keen on the superflex arms although the fella I bought the truck from said it has a 7" coil lift with 1" packers in the front and superior only makes arms up to 6". Added to the 2" body and that means it's been lifted 10" in the front which I just can't see unless the new coils have already sagged a lot or the barwork is weighing it all down. Who knows really, but I have seen GQ's lited 9" and it looks crazy high, I just can't see how this is more. I guess I will just have to do some measuring.

    You can always lower it. Thats too high IMO. Too unstable, What size and type of shocks are you running?
