Wheel spacers can help for the rubbing. Everyone is here to learn/help each other out.
And like the others said don't be a dick.

Look into something like the Currie Anti-Rock swaybar. I ran one on my TJ zbeacause I would wheel it quite a bit and hated dealing with those pita discos. The anti-rock uses a torsion bar and is adjustable for how stiff you want it on the road.

Wasnt trying to be a dick. My bad. I bungeed it up as far as i could but at full turn with very little flex it rubbed. Since last post yesterday i went to an open lot to test turning and manouvers without the swaybar on. And yes there is a good amount of body roll but all in all its controllable and even on the freeway at night with nobody around i did a couple quick lane changes and i had no issues. Im not saying its perfect but ive always driven lifted vehicles like this and in 12 years of driving have not had an issue. Im working on a budget and just trying to get the most out of my jeep for now till i can afford a fix. I will look into the currie swaybar. Btw any thoughts or ideas on a rear bumper chop? Looked for one but not many have done it i think. I found a couple but would appreciate a few ideas and pics if possible. Thanks all. Sry again for being defensive, was in a bad mood and took it out on yall.

I haven't seen many rear bumper chops but all that I have seen were just cut off at the bumps or take the plastic bumper off completely do a quick search you may come up with a few

For the rear bumper chop I myself was thinking of doing this but did not want the ends of the bumper open. I did some measuring and the rough country end caps for the front bumper should also fit the rear and I think complete it nicely. But I never did do it, just some thoughts.

I ran without a rear bumper for a while; technically, without the rear bumper cover. You could always chop it and see how it looks. Worst case just find someone on here with a stock one that you can put back on. Actually, you might want to pick up one and cut it instead. That way you'd have yours stock if you hated how it looked.

Default I run with no front swaybar...

My Jeep is a daily driver that I run 75-80mph for 30 minutes twice a day... I have had NOT SO MUCH AS AN INKLING OF DOUBT after removing my front swaybar. This is a 07 X with XRC bumper, 10,500lb winch, and a hard top on 2.5 Skyjacker (Unlimited springs) & 32's.
