Getting the Wheeling Fever
I have 2006 Rubicon that is totally stock. I intalled a set of quick disconnects on my front sway bar and one friend says I need longer brake hoses and another says I don't as long as its stock without a lift. I haven't used it yet, just put them on last weekend. Who is correct?

If there is no lift, then the stock brake lines Will be fine. They should be able to handle the added articulation of the disconnected sway bar at stock ride height

I think just the 07-08 ones come with an electric QD swaybar.

the elec disconect ones still limit articulation. all it does is lets the swaybar pivot in the center. the links on the ends are still connected.

How can it have locking differentials and still have a LSD in the rear?

It is limited slip when not in the locked position.

Yep, the 2006 was the last year for the I-6 and the 2 door Unlimited. No quick disconnect sway bar. The one's I added simply pull a pin and lock them on a bracket on the frame. Work really good and thier very quick. The locking diff's are Fuji Heavy Industies low pressure air lockers. I don't think the rear is LSD when unlocked though.
