I have done a lot of swaybar disconnect testing and the average is 15% gain measured at the lifted wheel.

Another reason to disconnect or remove the front sway bar is he avoidance of tearing the sway bar axle mount from the axle. Been there, done that.

Nice!
Are those 2.5" springs?
ome's should do a lot better than that.
here's the marshmallow when i first got it, with ome heavy's front and rear and sway bars both ends with 33s
i went slee 4" with 315s after that...and transferred it all to fat bastard
waiting to really flex the new slinkys
I believe mine do better then the picture I took I just haven't found a place to fully get it all flexed out. I got the mud flap to touch the ground but I think it has more in it

Yeah just the run of the mill 850s and 863 in rear. L shocks. Front sway disconnected.
I know ride comfort could improve, but off-road works just fine for me.

Funny enough, all my friends comment on how nice it rides and not nearly as harsh as they expected. I have the same setup, but with taller coils.

Oh, I don't find it harsh at all, just know it could be made better with more $$.
I daily a f450... when I get in the 80 it's like riding in a Cadillac. Lol
Just a few from this past summer...
I think we all can agree there is no clear winner set up for everyone. The balancing act is on us the consumer a 8500lb truck is not going to respond on/off road the same as a 5500lb truck with the same suspension set up. One needs to also consider where the weight is located. Given two trucks at the same weight one has 1000lbs on the roof is not going to react on or off the trail as the other guy with nothing on the roof.
The best part is we now have lots of choices with springs, shocks, and other suspension parts for one to find the perfect fit for his/her use.

I don't know, judging by the last few pictures I'm gonna go out on a limb and name @jcardona1 the winner of this years flex off !!!
In all seriousness though @LandCruiserPhil you are absolutely correct. Different strokes for different folks and people should be informed and educated about there suspension choices. The great news is this year is seeing a bloom of choices. We now have all the golden oldies with Slee, OME, TJM and are adding brand new stuff from Dobinsons, Trail Tailor, Redline, and ICON. The shock and coil selection is going to blow up this year !
^^ Agreed! And @jcardona1 is the winner of the best pictures of his truck in action!
Love the choices. We're just like Jeep people now!

Oh man, when you say that my mind flashes back to Moab last week. Sitting on Hell's Revenge was a two door JK with "once upon a dream" lettered on the side right next to a vinyl of Maleficent. Dude had some sweet purple halo lights to match the purple vinyls.
