The other one is an older picture in some local creek bottoms.

I don't understand how/why you can flex it with the sway bars still connected. Won't the sway bars break? Isn't that why there are disco's?
I mean, I was eyeballing this big old puddingstone mound today, thinking about doing a poser pic with my stock height '99 Limited (which has both sways, front and rear), but stopped myself because I was afraid one of them would break. I can't handle adding another thing to my Jeep to-do list right now.

they are designed to limit body roll and flex. but they do allow some. they bend but not alot. you wont break them.... but might as well just take them off.

Here are a couple of my XJ flexing before I added my 2 inches. This is 6.5"
Rough Country with 33"
Now with 8.5" lift i'm going 35" because these 33" are to small.
