The brackets are only meant to go on one way. If the arms flipped forward then your links aren't long enough. I think this is what you're trying to say.

Not exactly, if the the arms flipped forward i would be hitting the bumper and a couple of things, but if i flip the bracket than the arms would contact my springs.

the brackets go where they go. It isn't going to work with a winch stuffed inside the stock bumper.

Ah, I see the issue. Yeah, must be how the winch is placed in the bumper. I have never heard of that issue before though. Can you modify the winch mount at all so as to clear the sway bar? I'm not a fan of people having to go buy new parts just to make something else work.

from what i can see you can. you would just have to cut a bit more of the winch plate and move it forward and re drill the holes. i liked the flushed look of the winch, that would make the fairleads stick out more.

Sell the anti rock. It's a jeep not a race car, u don't need a swaybar. Me along with a few of my buddies run no sway bar what so ever. Drive like a dream. 👍👌

Driving on the street without sway bars isn't a good idea. If you should be in a situation where an aggressive maneuver is necessary I hope you don't cause someone else to lose their life due to your own stupidity.

^ This. They are there for a good reason. Nothing like rolling your rig on the road/highway because the idiot in front of you decided to slam their brakes...
