Read a bunch of threads, but have not been fully able to wrap my head around the potential clearance issues with the sway-loc system. I currently have a 4" lift and 35x12.5 tires on 17" rims (thanks to the PO). Been talking with my tire shop, thinking of changing the tires and rims to 33x10.5 on 15" rims (few reasons, but don't feel like I need the extra height, kind of want C rated tires for smoother offroad performance, looks...). The sway-loc would also probably help make the offroad performance smoother, but heard there can be clearence issues with smaller tires- so don't want to invest in the 33's only to purchase rubbing issues if I end up with a sway-loc in a couple of months.
I guess vehicle use is kind of important when building. I don't plan on rock crawling much, but trail and off road happens several times a week. I am not off road long enough to want to disconnect the sway bar - but pushing a button seems like a perfect solution. Yet I have read a few posts saying to avoid the Sway-loc remote - but not really why. I know airing down would also help, but hard to justify when you are offroad for 10 minutes at a time.

In the mean time, I know I need to play with airing down and disconnecting my sway bar (as an experiment at least). New shocks are also in the bucket list. Anyway, sorry about the rambling. Mostly trying to figure out if I should order the new tires and rims this week, and if I should plan on going with the sway-loc when I finally get my jeep to a shop to deal with gearing and lockers.
