Your sway bar is a torsional spring hooking the two A-arm pairs together to limit the amount of differential travel that can happen - if you hit a big swale with the RF, compressing the suspension on that side but not the other, the sway bar will limit the amount of compression to minimize "sway". You should have the sway bar disconnected when you're trying to get your A-arms moving freely; and you should ensure that your disconnected sway bar will pivot in it's mounts without too much resistance.

Thanks for the infomation, I didn't know that. I don't want to get the aarms to loose.

You need to address this issue before anything can be right on your suspension. The coil over shocks are an incorrect length which limits there travel severely and accounts for the bad ride!!!!!

On my Kugal IFS, as long as you raise / lower both sides at the same time / height everything moves freely. With the sway bar connected that is!

With it disconnected, you can go anywhere you want anytime you want.
