Throw away the rear sway bar and disconnect the front.

Make sure your rear leaf u bolts are tight, then remove the spring pack clamps. Just check on occasion in case a leaf starts to wander. Rare but does happen. This will give you additional rear droop and flex.

OMG, you'd think that would be information to post from the start!

If ZJs have rear sway bars, then that information would be the same as above. As for flexing the rear coils - well, skyjacker isn't known for soft or particularly flexy springs, even coils. I'd say get softer coils, disconnect (while offroad) and give the springs time to break in.

zj drivers, for the most part, keep the sway bars but upgrade them to disconnects, beefier ones, etc. you will want to check and see what is limiting your flex and go from there. besides your sway bar it could be lines, shocks, etc that are keeping it from going all the way
