Hi All,
I am interested in getting an older CJ5 (1974 to 1975) but was told that the
ones I am looking at are difficult to drive on the highway. Is it possible
to install detachable sway bars?

Also, approximately how much should I expect to spend for lockers with
installation (lets say ARB air actuated for instance)?

Thanks -Riles

 

Because your axles are narrower than later Civilian Jeeps that came
with stock sway bars, I believe your best bet would be to search the
bone yards for there regulator passenger cars, and weld their mounts to
your Jeep. Just clamping the leaf springs together will stop the roll
action, but limit the stock jeep articulation:
