Body roll
First things first, here's how my jeep sits now:
JKU, 2.5" Metalcloak springs, Old Man Emu Long Travel shocks, front Metalcloak track bar (not raised), rear OEM trackbar (raised), rear OEM sway bar links moved to front (parallel to ground), and extended links in the rear (need to be a few inches longer to have the sway bar level).
I've been getting a good amount of body roll in corners, changing lanes, really anywhere. I need to get new rear links so that it doesn't flip when flexed, would this also improve my body roll? If not, what can I do to improve it?

Yep I do. Do you also have the MC sway bar drop brackets installed in the rear? I'm not sure if sway bar angle affects body roll or not

I have the MC longer links in the rear. Angle might have some affect but not much I wouldn't think. Are you sure it's body roll that you're experiencing and not the flighty steering of improper castor?

Forgot to include that I have AEV control arm brackets too. They're in the 2.5" hole, I could set them at the 3.5" hole if that would help. I was going to anyway, but need to find ratchet straps to help line up the holes.

It looks like the only thing really left to correct are your rear links. I've got the AEV 2.5" which still uses the OEM rear links but I've also got the shorter wheel base on the 2 door and there's less weight to shift around...

That's what I'm thinking, just trying to figure it out before I start spending money. Thanks for the help
