UPDATE:
I fabbed a set of lower shock mounts using .250 wall 2x2 and welded them below the axle tube to eliminate the lower tabs on the truss. They are super stout so I am not worried about them hitting rocks. Installed Skyjacker M95 monotube shocks on the outboards and left the Duff's hydraulics on the inboard positions.
THIS IS A COMPELTELY DIFFERENT BRONCO!!!!
Corners like a champ, much less lean, super stable, better traction, super extension and compression and overall a much better experience.
I really think 4 hydraulic shocks for this system is just too little for the demands we place on it. What I have now is a good combination but wonder if some nitros in lieu of the hydraulics on the inboards would be too much.
Anyway, I am also thinking about getting another set of monotube shocks for the front and am willing to bet they will eliminate any need for a sway bar.
The Duff's system is good buts needs some tweaks. No one has yet to figure out why we had to jam the upper coil mounts so high above the frame to get the body level. That is what caused this mess in the first place. Oh well, I guess I just got the luck of the draw on that one.
If I find my new RTI score I will be sure to post it. Just not sure where I misplaced it!
