So over the factory bar what benefit are you getting from it besides a higher roll center in the rear? There is no extra suspension travel shown in that video over the factory track bar. You are stating that you are getting more flex due to that track bar but I just don't see it from what you have posted.
I see what you're getting at. I'm just saying the way the track bar and bracket are designed with the 3.5 inch lift it gives you the ability to clear the factory exhaust & diff better than other after market kits I've seen. Clearance gives flex

When you run a 6.5" raised bracket, now you run the risk of hitting the factory exhaust without limiting uptravel, or putting a big bend in the trackbar, or running a pre axle dump.

Still none of that means that the MC specific setup gives more travel than any other. all you're doing is regurgitating manipulated advertising.

Sweet jesus we're finally getting somewhere, but the bracket and trackbar don't give you any more flex than stock brackets and stock trackbar.

It's a good thing we aren't running a straight track bar.
