Disconnecting the anti roll bar will make a big difference to articulation, and will definitely allow you to have all 4 wheels firmly on the ground on those ramps. On the gen 3 you can just remove the drivers side drop link which is a 5 minute job. I'm not sure if that trick would work on a gen 4. I understand most of the chassis is the same or very similar.

An inch and a half down travel at the expense of up travel, hence the many instances of bent of broken shock mounts! On standard suspension with the anti roll bar disconnected my gen 3 rear springs were at the point of coming loose, so I don't think more down travel help much.

Removing one side of the link does work on the Gen 4. I have removed mine completely, It makes a huge difference to articulation. The Gen 3 and Gen 4 flex about the same with the anti-roll bar removed (Both had 50mm lift with heavy duty coils in the rear).
