How do you get best flex out of a stock XJ. You have to remove the sway bar if I am right but how do you do that.

You can toss the rear sway bar for starters. When the front is disconnected, there is a lot of flex, but is a little unsafe to drive on the road. My front sway bar end links are broken, and I've yet to fix them. I have insane body roll and almost lost control when it was slippery once. The back end slid a little when I corrected it, the front starting sliding from the momentum of the body roll I guess. So my suggestion would be remove the rear and get disconnects for the front.

I have a stock xj, well I have a 1.5" buget lift, but that doesn't really count. I removed the rear along time ago and it has amde a huge difference. Haven't done quicks for the front yet, but everything I have heard says that they make a huge difference.

Get rid of the rear sway bar. (that cost $0) Spend a few bucks on quick disconnects. Don't drive with out a sway bar on the front or you'll run into allot of trouble when you make a evasive maneuver.
