Hey all… so I know this has been talked about before on this forum, but I wanted to resurrect the topic and see if any new information has developed. I am looking to install SRT8 sway bars to my 2014 JGC LTD V-8. My first question is:
Should I install both the front and rear sway bars? I’ve read many opinions online, some praising just installing the rear bars and some stating that you must do both. From what I read, I am more inclined to install the rear bars as I am looking to reduce roll and that ‘settling’ feel as you go into turn with this Jeep. Anyone out there with just the rears done? Or people who have done each one and tested out the performance?
My second question is: Are the SRT8 links required and will they add any improved performance. Again from my research I’ve seen people not installing and others saying they’re needed for the install.
I plan on buying my parts through justforjeeps.com, and use my appreciation certificate. Any information on the topic, opinions, recommendations, etc., would be greatly appreciated.

So i'm looking at also replacing the sway bars with the art ones and the shorter links as i'm lowered on H&R springs. My question is, are there any aftermarket shocks available for non SRT models? Mines an ecodiesel, but from what i gather it uses the same suspension as the V8.
Anybody know of any aftermarket shocks? Bilstein maybe?
I'm looking for some input on SRT sway bar install front and rear, I have 2015
Altitude and hate the way the steering feels, would these installs help or just a waste of $ and time. Oh stock height no plans for lowering .
For the rear sway bar I found the cheapest site was moparonlineparts.com... $167 and no tax to CT at least. Shipping about $10. Got the part in under a week.
I'll let you guys know any changes, hoping to install this week. You do not need an alignment, as it is a bolt on piece.
I got one last question, I was looking at the front and back sway bars and yes it's pretty straight forward install. Are the SRT that much bigger then stock which to me seemed pretty large in diameter, but I'm no expert in this flied
At least for my model year (2012 thru current), the srt rear diameter is slightly thicker. The front, from what I understood was the same diameter, but heavier. The theory is the front SRT is solid versus hollow in the OEM.
You can surf around for info on this forum and will find corroborating posts.
All I know is the sway bars improve side to side wallowing, and hold curves better.
Im not sold on this at all. I've read some posts that stated both front and rear are identical for SRT and non-SRT.
Only difference is shorter end links on the SRT. Anyone have proof of otherwise?
Either weight of both non-SRT/SRT or actual measurements of both?
+1 on MOF comments. The rear was slightly shorter (1/8-1/4"). Otherwise I could not tell. I did them anyway, since they were already going to be on the lift for installation.
