I was wondering when my JL arrives can the auto sway bar disconnect be used in 4Hi or only 4Lo?

This will be my first time having this feature and was wondering how well it works? Is it stubborn? Do you need to stop? I'm sure all my answer will be in my owners manual. But at this rate I may not see my Rubi til July.

Talked to the dealer. He thought it can only be used in 4LO and reconnects at 30MPH, but he seemed very unsure. I'm hoping it does that and works in 4HI for a smoother off road ride.

It works in 4HI and 4LO. It will reconnect automatically at 22 mph then will disconnect again if you fall back below 18 mph. I always put them in 4HI when I’m on the road to the trail even just to disconnect the sway bar.

You don’t need to stop. It will disconnect at speed. It works great imo.

Didn't realize it was that fast. Guess I tend to drive faster than that on a regular basis :crazyeyes:

Somebody in your house has an off-road lead foot.

Yes it will not change. What it will add if in the x series family is quick disconnect links for the sway bar.

Why wouldn’t you? Are you paying the dealer to do the lift?

I found on the JK the reconnect part can be quite long. Not sure if the axle needs to be level or what, but I remember once trying to reconnect while on a trail and it took forever to reconnect.
Yeah, they are kind of a pain. Manual disconnect would of been a nicer option over electronic disconnect.

In order for it to disconnect you need to relieve the tension on the sway bar. IE the front axle needs to be more or less level. It takes a second or two so in addition you need to be on a more or less smooth spot so the suspension isn't working.
You can always add manual disconnect links if you want.

My previous Wrangler was a TJ and I did the manual “quick” disconnect methods for years and years. The electronic disconnect has been one of the most satisfying features since moving into the JL. I pushed the sway bar button once when getting off-road and didn’t even have to touch it again. I put the T-case back into 2-wheel drive and the sway bar automatically reconnects. Love it.
