Removing the rear sway bar will allow more flex, but then you'll dent the wheelwell even more.

X2, just trim your fender, or get bushwackers or something of that nature.

You need longer bump stops to keep your wheels from hitting your wheel wells.

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.
