I have searched and searched and searched and I can't find anything.

When you disconnect the front sway bar on a nonrubicon what keeps the suspension(shocks, brake lines, etc) from over extending? I thought that was the job of the sway bars(along with the anti sway part) but I guess not because you can disconnect them and be ok.

Someone please help me with a good explanation!

 

When you disco the shocks become the limiting factor of droop. You can add limiting straps to protect the shocks from bottoming out. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will jump in.

 

When you disconnect the sway bar the shocks are usually the next limiting factor. Like stated above, limit straps are the correct way to make sure you do not over extend anything. The main reason for a sway bar is to prevent body roll on the street. Generally when you are off road you want the suspension to be able to utilize all of its travel. The stock bars are the first thing to limit this.

 

Discos are the number one improvement in my opinion. I couldn't believe what a difference they made on first jeep when i added them. Especially if you don't have lockers.

Keeping all 4 wheels on the ground is a must with open diffs...

I know you should install limiting straps - but 99.8% of the people don't.

 

I've actually seen a full droop malfunction in which the shock broke and spring unloaded taking out the brake line. It was on the rear with a friend who was playing with the idea of disconnecting the rear sway bar.
