I agree, the disconnects seemed like a good idea at the time. As far as the test run? With the axle moved and the sway bar gone, the sway on the highway was barley noticeable. I usually disconnected when I went off road anyway so I am used to that aspect, so far no regrets what so ever. The axle moved forward was well worth the effort, surprised it is not discussed more, really seems to have done wonders with my rig, maybe not on the next guys, who knows.
