Apart from limiting straps to prevent suspension movement there is no real way of resolving this particular trait of a swaybar which works in an opposite arc to that of the axle.

Or fit disconnects!

You can get longer sway bar end links, or quick disconects and manually disconnect.

More the question. If its a Rubi, why is it doing that? Something might be letting your suspention travel too far. Are your shocks stock Rubi? If not are they matched to the lenght of the sway bar links???

I have a Rubi with the TF2.5 coils. Never had a problem.... Yet!!

Where does the bar sit when the jeep is on all fours/flat? Needs to be pretty darn close to parallel to the ground if you have the right length links.
