the original statement (couple pages back now) was what i originally asked for clarification on, since the way it was worded was that the stock FJ wheels circles around a/any modded xterra, without any statement as to what sort of mods were done on the xterra.
ATRAC is just another toyota acronym for the same thing i have on my xterra, an electronic limited slip. when one tire spins the abs system grabs the brake on the spinning wheel to transfer power to the other side. Toyota markets their acronyms to make it seem like nobody else has it (the only car company with the STAR safety system, fancy name for front and side airbags and seatbelt pretensioners).
as for the swaybar disconnect, once you lift 2" in the front, you need longer endlinks or they'll bind, limiting droop travel and tearing up the swaybar bushings. i was running no front sway and just the rear, which balances out the flex a bit, shifting more articulation to the front end, but i've since pulled the rear bar as well and i'm pretty happy with it. it handles fine as long as you keep the tires aired up, 30 psi in the duratracs = body roll and bad mileage.
