you'll def see some extra travel without the front sway bar. a rule of thumb on suspension though is that your shocks should NOT be your travel limiting factor so when you do switch over to the extended links chech your travel out with a floor jack. you should be able to find your extended length specifications for your shocks just adjust the link back to where your about 3/8" or so from full shock droop. you want your control links, pan hard bar, springs, sway bar link to take the weight of the axle at full droop not the shocks. same with full crush you want the weight of the vehicle on all the control links and springs and not bottoming out your shocks while doing it lol so just check it out to make sure. You shouldnt have anything to worry about really just dont let out the extended links to much.
