The more the shock is inclined the more travel you can get. Obviously it reduces the effectivness of the valving and therefore needs to be valved differently to a vertical setup.

Disagree……… Rubi disco and unhooked there’s no difference with the right sway links…..I’m running 31 “ extended shocks…….. The Rubi E disco is also useless and will just cause you grief.
I have read about this many times here at the forum, and was curious what the right sway bar links might be...the right sway links.
You see how flat out your swaybar is, it’s maxed and at that point could be restricting even more flex. It is so close to being flat out that when you are on the trail it can easily flip back the wrong way and bend around your Tierod bar when you come back down. Way too close for comfort for me. . And if you put a link on any longer when you stuff up you will jam it right up into your wheel wells. Past the spring tower which is equally as bad.Disagree……… Rubi disco and unhooked there’s no difference with the right sway links…..I’m running 31 “ extended shocks…….
hooked and disconnected
unhooked
Yeah, that’s right, by right links it’s more of wear and tear, longevity of the links. I’m using a double ended heim style link so there’s no binding. Your long links will work as you mentioned, however we’ve already swapped out my buddy’s MC links because the bottom bushing was tearing. Also matters how much your using it, how long it will last… we’re out almost every weekend…..I have read about this many times here at the forum, and was curious what the right sway bar links might be
This past Easter we put a Game Changer 3.5" kit lifted Rubicon with 37's on the CTI trailer and compared the results when the Rubicon's electronic sway bar was disconnected while some common, but adequately sized, sway bar links were still bolted on, with the results after we unbolted and removed the sway bar links completely.
There was no difference in measured flex.
I guess if you did a lift and forgot to install the appropriately sized sway bar links you could hamper the flex, but it appears to be a non issue if you use links that are not too short.
Not sure what you’ve been looking at, but there’s no way this will flip, I think it’s the angle of the pic, here’s better one, and one from full stuff, there’s absolutely no interference. Perhaps what you’ve been looking at just isn’t set up right…..You see how flat out your swaybar is, it’s maxed and at that point could be restricting even more flex.
