if you've got drop brackets you'll have these or something similar between the sway bar bush and your chassis and the swaybar will be under the muffler..



Too late to get a tape measure out but if you've got standard rear sway links the swaybar will point down noticably and the links are maybe about 9" long iirc. If you have longer sway links the bar will be about level or possibly pointing upwards a touch and the links will probably be about 11-12" long.

Depends what shocks you have fitted but its likely your shocks will fully extend before your sway links stop downward travel of your axle. The other way around leads to bending links.

Theres probably nothing wrong with yours. Just the sway bar doing what sway bars do. My rear wheels have come off the ground over steep ledges and road sides if angling up them.

If you don't know whats on your car perhaps contact DBOR and see if they can tell you either by providing them photos or maybe they can search off numberplate or old owners name or something.

I think I will just drop down to see them and they can take a quick look, thanks guys for all our help, my sway bar links definately do point down a little when on level ground, and there are no drop brackets.

I haven't run a rear sway bar for years nor do any of the patrol and toyota drivers i wheel with.
I dont have any esp or traction control and find my jeep still very forgiving and predicable with just the front sway bar in for fast off-roading .
My opinion with the front still in you dont notice any loss of on road manners at all. The front is a different story i find it cringe worthy watching 4x4s 3wheeling
Its only quick job to pull it out if you don't like it throw it back in
