liquidSteam wherever he is has those tires - look great on stocks - but he still reports sway bar rub

Yep - but he has the trail/mud version from Nitto. And, he's got the factory 20's - I want to keep w/ factory 18's and for one reason or another, heights and widths vary when the rim-diameter changes, just like tire measurements change between manufacturers where even though the sidewall size is exactly the same, actual dimensions vary slightly. I'm thinking the Ridge Grappler may fit perfectly because of the lesser lug/tread pattern, maybe?

Relocating pivot points forward and longer arms with the same diameter bar would reduce the amount of anti-sway forces currently provided. You'd need a larger diameter bar just to offset the additional torque a longer arm will impart. Additionally, the arms would need to stay clear of the frame rails and everything else ... both stationary & moving interferences. While I have your attention, what is that black goop on all your underpinnings?

Despite talking to myself at this point updating the thread... moving forward with a custom 3 piece sway bar. Should permit use of factory mounting points, give required clearance, and actually produce a superior sway bar.
Thinking PMF or Lewis for the radius arms to complete a no-lift 37x12.5 solution.
Cheers.

I have the Nitto Trail grappler MT at 37x11.5r20 on stock wheels. The do rub at full lock. Since I found this out after purchase I decided to try and live with it for a while and if I couldn't I would just get an aftermarket wheel. Well 30 seconds after leaving the tire place I pulled into the liquor store to drown my sorrows (just kidding) but I did pull into a parking lot. I used a bungee cord on the steering wheel and climbed under the truck to get a handle on exactly how far I could turn the wheel without rubbing. Turns out my wheel only goes 2.25 turns to full lock. I am able to get a full 2 steering wheel rotations and still not be rubbing. That is assuming flat ground, no heavy loads, no odd angles, just your basic everyday (for me) driving. My typical driving I don't need to go more than 1.5-1.75 rotation anyway. I have only had to do one 3 point turn since to avoid full lock. I am very happy.
