After looking around, I have found this information.
Rear sway bar needs bushings.
Front sway bar is massive.
I have 28 inch diameter tires and have at least 3 inch clearance on all four tires, with closest clearance between front of front tire and bumper.
I have 8 inch clearance from differential to ground. Also same 8 inch clearance from rear shock mount to ground.
So, 31 inch tires should clear with room to spare, which will give me 9.5 inch ground clearance.
Are these normal clearances?
Anyone suggest a good neoprene sway bar bushing?
Current tires are new, 235/75R15 Toyo Open Country on factory wheels.
My goal is to get it ready for off road desert driving.
