bumpstops or trimming is what you need to stop the denting. removing swaybar will only increase flex therfore increase denting like previously stated.

I always jack up the axles and measure for bump stop length. Jack one end of axle until tire is stuffed with about 1 inch or so of clearance. Measure from axle landing pad to the bump stop.That is how much longer the bump stop should be. Do both sides of each axle and make sure that nothing else will hit, axle tubes, control rods, etc. That will give you all the flex you can get for your tire and lift combo.

yea bumpstop but i bet they are talkin about where the sway bar is contactin the inner wheel well as mine did that on one side and it lines up exactly where the bar is, but now my tires were able to hit the fender flares 1st so i bumpstopped and no more issues. Hope this helps.
