I know this thread is pretty much dead, but for others coming in as of late, I would like to say that I disagree with you blacksambo.
Those are bump stops and they DO limit suspension travel. They may affect roll resistance but primarily that's what the sway bar does. I have removed my rear bump stops completely (not recommended unless you have a lift) it does not affect roll/sway on my VX at all, still handles like it always did, but without the harsh jarring of the bump stops.![]()
