Rear anti sway bar with full travel (finally)

So after much fudging and figuring I found a way to make my anti sway bar work the way I wanted. I didn't like it mounted in the normal wraith mounting points (bar in the rear and arms toward the front) because the bar was getting hit buy the axle housing. With the HR arms I couldn't get enough travel without the arms hitting the chassis or the shocks not getting full travel. I wanted full shock travel, no chassis contact and no chance of the arms for the sway bar inverting.

I had to shorten my arms (cut the last two holes off) but I was able to make minor chassis trimming and I've got full travel tot he bump stops on the shocks!
 
or simply use the original axial swaybar/arms

Those hit the cage. At least the yeti arms did. I couldn't find the bomber specific bar in stock anywhere.
 
I am running the Vanquish Currie Antirock bar in the forward mount and it allows for full suspension travel and does not rub/hit at all. Only thing I did do is make slightly shorter links.

Aren't those shocks quite a bit longer than the stock "king" shocks ?

The Proline XT's are 128mm extended 86mm collasped and the RC4Wd Ultmiate Scale Shocks I am running are 110mm in total length 100mm extended 72mm compressed. total travel of about 1.2 inches.

I am not sure of the exact length of the stock king(blue) shocks that came with it.

You have to remember where the XT's are mounting.... it the upper mount location which accommodates a much larger shock.

Stock shocks are 105mm. Great the truck still articulates fully but I think the Bomber comes with too much rear flex from the factory as it is so I'll stick to my limited travel and better sway control :ror: If you build it to crawl only, ditch the sway bar all together then you'll have ALLLLLLL THE FLEX!
