how do i know whats limiting my droop???
I not sure if the rear sway bar link mount is wide enough. I thought about using it on the axle but the shock would not fit in it. You might want to look at it first. If you keep up all this modification work to your Jeep I may have to open up a fab shop. You alone would probably keep me in business.

i found an article on it: http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/.../Rear_BPEs.htm
i think hes just using the stock bolts that used to hold on the swaybar link rather than getting the shock replacement bolts...

well shucks...
i just took off my shock and it lowered down another 3 inches till it hit a concrete block i had sitting there... i think it could proly go down a good 5 inches more than the shock is allowing it to, the shock is a rancho RSX 17318 which i read is good for 0-3inches of lift...
i could do the BPE's, but all i get from that is about another half inch, so what do yall suggest? is the only option to get some new shocks? or will i be ok to just bottom theese out for a while?

Letting the axle hang from the shocks will eventually damage the shocks. Try to raise one side of the axle up as far as it will go into the fenderwell and let the other side drop as far as possible. Measure the shock mounting distance on each side and have the parts store find a set that matches the collapsed and extended measurements.
