...With rear sway bar...

There is no question here... the rear sway bar does NOT limit rear flex. Not on coil/shock setups, OR coilovers... it does NOT limit rear flex. Period. People claiming it does don't know what they are talking about, or don't know how to setup the jeep so see option 1. It's as simple as that.

No way man, you could totally get more flex if you didn't have your rear sway bar connected :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy:

Here's the rear shock. There's still plenty of shock and spring compression available - I couldn't get it to fully stuff because there wasn't a severe enough angle. I think I need to find a ramp to drive up.

When I'm able to find the right terrain to get the rear axle at full droop I'll update the thread - and then everyone will know (at least for this setup) if the rear sway bar limits the travel of the suspension (which, for the record, I don't believe it does).

And, to clarify something about this suspension for people that are not familiar with it - there is more up-travel than a standard shock. Therefore, even with a 3.5" lift I am able to run 2" of bump stop at the front (with minor rubbing on the top of the plastic fender) and 1" at the rear (with no rubbing).

Looks like your rear bump extensions are to short! Your shock will bottom out before the bump hard stops. I like to keep my six packs in the fridge, not under my Jeep 🤣.

Nope - they are ok. There are o-rings on the shocks to indicate compression. The rear shocks never get to full compression with the bump stops set up that way.

Ok, I forgot that those have the rods out the top and bottom. Carry on.
