Yes, very possible. Did not see anyone mention shock relocation brackets or EVO rockstar skids. Or shocks with shorter bodies and longer travel. or spring coil retaining clips. longer sway links. in the end you want to go with coilovers, 3-4 suspension systems later thats where I ended up.

Just need longer shocks, discos, and brake lines to stretch those legs.

I was also trying to mazimize my travel for my Teraflex Performance leveling kit. Currie sells a max travel levling kit that basically adds bumpstops, spring retainers, and extended brake lines, and also recomend long travel RS9000XL shocks. I had asked opinions on doing this since I was only planning on going 33's, but got no response. I havent ordered my shocks yet, so havent decided to go that route or go with standard shocks for my Leveling Kit.

so the question is, how to get more flex?

Should I get different sway bar links? Bump-stops? Adjustable control arms? Etc?
Any suggestions would be helpful.

The black JKUR has a 6" Pro Comp long arm with Fox remote resevoirs , f & r Rancho diff. covers and lower control arm skids , motor , tranny , and gas tank skids , as you can see a Teraflex front bumper w/ Warn 9000 ti winch , Hanson rear bumper w/ tire carrier 35 x 12.50 Pro Comp Xtremes on Pro Comp rims. It is not totally flexed out in this picture of it on the stairs. The stairs are in Gorman in the offroad training area if anyone want to go there and see how tall it really is , you may be surprised! By the way , here is a pic. of my other jeep. It is 51 years old , and will be around alot longer than any JK !
