4.5" RC will flex pretty good. Get some drop brackets.

LIFT : 4.5" rough country short arms, no front sway bar
TIRES : 32x11.5R15

NO TRIMMING

only thing stopping further flex in this pic was the fact the rear tire was fully tucked and rubbing inner wheel well, an i had stock front brake lines at this point that were acting like limiting straps

toss it in the trash, because thats about as much as the rear sway bar is worth.

if you dont want to run without a front sway bar on the street, then just get some disconnects.
