I figured it would roll just by looking at how the wheels bend from left to right when your going over bumps. I dont know anything about them kits that people put on the jeep, Just it does look scary when you go over bumps. heh. But My civic isnt worth your jeep, LOL. your jeep is worth more then my civic.

The one-side-up, other-side-down axle movement is called articulation, and it allows all four wheels to stay firmly planted on the ground no matter how bumpy or uneven the terrain is. It makes worlds of difference when off-road (under most conditions)

However, you are correct that this would be detrimental to on-road performance and safety. The front sway bar is disconnectable, meaning that when I go off on a trail, I disconnect it to allow the axle to articulate. On the road, I keep it hooked up 100% of the time, and it actually has a significant amount of roll resistance.

I also have the (currently removed) rear-sway bar that can be re-installed if so desired. With both sway bars installed, this will corner flatter than a stock mid-size sedan, and will resist the body roll that can cause a vehicle to roll over.

So, in summary, it offers the best of both worlds with a 3 minute process to either unhook or re-hook the sway bar.

Here is the link to my write-up on how I changed the OE swaybar links to be easily disconnectable, yet still sturdy (as they work just as they did from the factory): http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=395512

The only difference is, I have since removed the lower bolt and replaced it with a clevis pin.

No civic to trade.... I know you don't really wanna sell, but shoot out a price and I could prob. work with you until you find the civic you want for the selling price.

Like if you want $1000 ( just for exsample ), you go find a civic for $1000 and I buy it for you and you give me the jeep.

I'm really looking for a wrangler as, I already have an XJ, but I like them, so...

How about a stock 97 dx hatch? It's my little sister's and it is in good shape. She is out of town right now but will be back this weekend.

It's red fwiw.
