Plus if you flip the DL you need 3" of bump stop.

Not for all flip kits... The synergy kit and d-link will clear will 2". (Well 2.25 of you are using the MC bumps as they have a .25 cap.)

Definitely not flipping it than. Right now I can clear 35s with only one bumpstop.

Its the trakbar brace that requires the bumps. I used the rough country one that isn't as tall so I get away with 2. Maybe less, I havnt played around with it much

Stay muddy my friends

If the Synergy track bar bracket clears with 2" bump stops, I don't see why any other mount that raises the roll center by 3" wouldn't work as well. I'm running the Artec mount and Synergy drag link flip. I need to flex it and see if I can get away with 2" bump stops, running 3" right now. Been thinking of getting the frame notched if not.

Anybody running non 6pak 12" travel shocks with either the 2.5" or 3.5" coils?

I have some questions with my quick disconnects.

How do you make it clear the tie rod? And other one, which I don't know the name of?

You have to disconnect both sides. Then grab the sway bar itself that they're attached to (the black bar) and roll it up towards the hood of the jeep. It will raise your links so they can clear the other bars you're referring to. (Drag link and tie rod are the names of them.) If I'm not mistaken out should easily clear the tie rod though. Drag link is the one it catches on.

Yeah. Just tap them off with something you keep available. I use any random thing I have on me usually.
