4 link jacking

ok, so we copied (down to the inch) a clayton long arm 5" on a 2000 TJ, and so far have not installed the swaybars. we have a spool in a 9" rear. when we make a right turn, it jacks the left side up terribly (and vise-versa). is this indicative of the spool or the lift? can we control it with swaybars? whats up with this?

Yes

The spool is fighting when turning, period. The LA are transferring this force to the frame...

can we control it with swaybars

Possibly... but will likely cause a bit more "chirping"

May be able to add some air to the tires on the street to help them slip easier too.

A spool with soft springs and shocks can do that. Looks like you have a lot of AS and little frame separation in that setup too which makes everything worse.

My ZJ with a spool and clayton's longarms does essentially the same thing on the street. It was worse before I got the front end geometry dialed in. Now, i just remember to do a somewhat 3-point-turn, or pull all the way through, when pulling into a parking spot to relieve the twist in the setup. I would imagine, with the shorter wheelbase of the Wrangler, the problem would be far more dramatic
