The rear tire came off the ground before it I could even think about flexing.
Might try it again with front disconnected???

Throw both swaybars in the trash and get back to us

All serious. You can not possibly set your suspension up with the front and rear sway bars connected. Disconnect them, remove them, whatever. Then measure, set up your suspension to get the most out of it. After this if you want your sway bars back on then go for it. Bit you can not even spell "shock length" with sway bars connected.

Lol! Ok will do.
Also, I do have a JKS adj. track bar but I didn't change out the mount for it. The track bar helped a lot with how sloppy the front end felt but the whole steering stills feels really weak and flimsy. Is there a big difference with a steering box brace, track bar mount, tie rod upgrade or should I be looking to upgrade the whole steering box itself ?
It is really amazing how cheesy the steering feels just by adding little 31x10.50's.

It should be printed on the visors as part of the operating instructions...

But it sure is a lot of fun!
