Currie Antirock vs Disconnects: Why settle for one when you can have both

Disco'd.
Front tire has about a finger's clearance before touching the plastic arch of the flare mounting.
Jounce is little over half way compressed to the bump.
Drooped side spring is loose but not unseated, mostly due to the shock as the limiter.
What more interesting is look how much more clearance I have on the stuffed rear side vs. with the sway bar connected.
And the numbers,
I'll give it a conservative 26".

How long are your shocks? Weren't you running OME's before? I might see something interesting.
Yes, I was running OME 1st gen Nitros before(N66/N67's). Now RS55239/RS55241 Ranchos.
I keep a ziptie on the left front shock piston and the right rear. I have about 1.25" of piston still available on the stuffed rear, but I'm bumped for the TB relocation mount, which I can probably change now with the added half inch BL.
This is from two years ago. ~9" travel OME shocks with everything set up to use their full travel, similar tire size, seated coils, Antirock in the middle setting. The trash can is 28" tall. I probably could have raised up higher before being on 2 wheels.

Looks like 28" to me. I could have pushed another inch out of it before rubbing hard on the inner fender. My wheel offset is probably different than yours as well. I'm as 3.75" BS.
My right rear tire was nowhere near off the ground yet, so my limitation is my tire size and lift height choice.
Shocks and bumps would be the hard travel limits regardless of the lift height.
I think we can assume that we are/were close in overall movements between my AR and your disconnected.
The difference is in how the rear behaves in relation to the resistance coming from the front. We can see this in your forklift test today. The more resistant the front is to articulation, the more the rear will move in reaction to the front.
The Flex Connect will play a role in how the rear behaves.
For what I believe the Flex Connect does, $300 feels high compared to what you get from the Antirock.
