How to limit body roll
Due to the steering setup I have, I was unable to keep my front sway bar. At first it didn't bother me to much. Slow around corners, increase following distance, blah blah blah. Well it is getting old, swaying back and forth constantly from ever passing vehicle or road imperfection.
Besides buying a new cherokee that still has the swaybar and turning my current one into a trail only, what are some things that can be done to reduce the body roll I am experiencing? Stiff shocks or coils? Filling the coils with tennis *****?
Jeep basics - 4.5in lift w/ AAL, FST heim steering and track bar, 35in tires, spartan lockers, winch bumper, tire carrier bumper

What about something like this http://www.synergymfg.com/Synergy-Su...l#.UvTbFYU7Eng or a currie antirock swaybar?

If those brackets would work it would be awesome, but that isn't the issue. The bracket for the track bar mounts in front if the coil, and occupies the same space as the swaybar itself. The swaybar would have to be like 2in wider on the drivers side to clear the trackbar bracket. Does that make sense?

Haha I will try and get some pictures soon. Maybe I can find one on my phone that can kinda show what I am trying to explain. Right now the jeep is gone getting the winch hooked up.
As you can see in this picture, the bracket for the track bar angles out from the "frame rail" and caused the issue with my sway bar.
This one just shows the steering hitting the swaybar link bracket. It has since been cut off, and would be easy to add aftermarket brackets if the track bar wasn't in the way
