    You can lay frame in the front w/ the factory fenderwells in tack if your running a 255/35r20 tire.

    You'll also have to mod the sway bar mounts and cut down or replace the factory lower bump stop w/ a smaller one.

    I removed my sway bar but I'm also running aftermarket lower control arms and i couldnt get the swaybar to not rub on the bags... Hell the sway bar mount that was welded to my control arm even rubbed the bag after I took the sway bar out. Most people that I have seen just shorten the factory sleeve down and use a shorter bolt in its place.

    Ditch them, the mount they go to has to be trimmed off.

    Keep the sway bar on but run shorter end links.

    I've done both. Energy Suspension makes them in lots of lengths. With the ART Strong Arms kit you cut the stock sleeve and they provide you with a new allen headed bolt that's 2" shorter(pretty sure that's the length).

    whatever you do, run a sway bar. Dont leave it off. It makes a big difference.

    loose the bump stops, and take the sway bar and flip it over the so the left is now the right and visa versa and use the stock end links, thats it for those two items....
