Sway Away adjusters - upward travel ?
I have sway a way adjusters and using them to lower my BJ front end. I am wondering what to do to limit downward travel of the trailing arms when you go over bumps and "unload: the front end. Wouldn't the adjusters just rotate up , then slam back down when you "land" the car ?

This is one way of doing it. This mockup is on a BJ beam. Not sure (memory) about K&L.
The centered (matched up to the arms) post goes through the shock tower and the hooks go on the trailing arms to your limiting needs.

This keeps the BJs from being ripped out of the front suspension on hard compression hits. It is a mock up thing with the BJ mounted in the arms, mounted in the beam (no torsion bars involved) and the suspension being moved up and down to determined to their relationship to the location of the "stop post".
