Sway bar question

I bought some slightly used coilovers (powered by max 2010) and finally dumped the cut springs game, but when I mounted them and adjusted the ride height to about where I thought it should be. As soon as I lifted the lca(or w/e you call it) the sway bar fought me... so I took it off and set it aside, mounted everything up and called it good w/o both sway bars.

Now the both sides are even I imagine I could throw the sway bars back on, but the linkage that connects the bar to the lca concerns me because its too long for as low as I am. The front should clear but the rear looks like the first solid bump I hit will punch the linkage into the brake line mount. So would it be a bad idea to cut that linkage and weld it to be shorter?

Also kind of unrelated but me camber is maxed out up front and the wheels look like they are at 0 degrees, not really a big concern (I dont have any super angle mods) just curious?

you can cut and weld the end links if you want to, it would help put the sway in the right place.

did you adjust the camber at the shock mount and camber plate?

You have alittle more to go before the camber is maxed. Pull the 2 screws closet to the engine and put them in the holes closest to the 2 remaining screws. Then push the top dampening bolt till its hard up against the camber plate. Then your maxed.
