As a certified auto tech for over 30 years, and someone who specializes in chassis and suspension work, I can tell you without a doubt that your sway bar is hindering your suspension travel more than your shock length, in a typical stock suspension. This is probably why the Jeep Rubicon comes with a disconnecting sway bar, but uses the same length shock as a willys, sport , X, or sahara....

I guess anyone that doesn't off road wouldn't know this. I did, and just assumed, as I'm watching this vid, everyone else did too. Good point.

I extended my rear sway bar end links, did a Pandhard riser bracket and added +2in longer shocks and my 4Runner rear is a flex monster…as in I can drop my back tire a 35” below the frame on a 3 inch lift and stock links. The front IFS is a different story 🤦♂️

Exactly why removable sway bar links are critical!

Articulation makes a world of a difference. I have a JT that currently has no lockers. Flex, lift and tire size has been my recipe for success through tough trails and over obstacles. I've gotten through sections easier than those with lockers because of flex.

Question, if your getting more down travel, but have to limit the up travel, does this not just give you the same amount of travel? Just in a different range of travel? Did that make sense?

Downtravel = Increased percentage of keeping the the tires contacting the ground. And, longer shock = increased stroke = increased travel(flex) The bumpstop only needs to be extended just enough so that the shock doesn't bottom out, but you're still increasing the amount of travel the suspension can cycle by increasing the length of the shock, it's just going to have more down-travel then uptravel.
