Can shocks be too long

Not on my JT (or my JK).

You have no additional droop when you disconnect the sway bar? And it's all stock?

That's correct & yes.

Now, maybe we aren't talking about the same thing. I'm not talking about axle articulation (as in one side of the axle at full up travel and the other side at full down travel). I'm talking about full axle droop, as in when the vehicle is on a chassis lift or supported by jack stands under the chassis and the tires are off the ground. When supported by the chassis only, the shocks will limit how far down the axles will travel.

I've worked on a lot of vehicles over the years, and I've not seen one that uses the sway bar to limit the full-droop suspension travel.

Thanks for explaining, I wasn't thinking about both sides at full droop at the same time.
