OK so I got to put it on the road a couple hundred miles allready. After everything settled out I succeeded in droping it about 1.5" in the front and about 1.25" in the rear.  The body roll is reduced noticably and it feels better in corners in general.  I only have about 1" of bump stop clearance in the front now.  I have the big 4.5" eurethane bump stops now so I may swap those out for some 3" bump stops in the front and use the 4.5" ones in the back. It rides just fine but you can definately feel it needs a bit more uptravel before it smacks something.

I would still like to add a front swaw bar.  I'm thinking of using one off a cherokee since they are huge and mount in front of the axle and should work well on an SAS setup.  Also I can use some JKS disconnects on those for wheeling. There are a couple cherokees at our local wrecking yard...

Haven't got a chance to load it up or wheel it yet but I suspect it will wheel great and haul better than it did before. It looks a little less tweaky and not as "too tall" now.
