The XJ Files

Full flex - stock

As you can see in this photo, even a stock XJ with both sway bars attached has some decent flex. Once I had it jacked up as far as it would go, I measured the distance from the ground to the center of the axle: 22.5". That's 9.25" of flex from the stock suspension. You can actually get more flex when the suspension is "shocked," causing the sway bars to twist. But it's hard to measure anything other than static articulation.
