    This lil ring has come off from the swaybar for some unknown reason. I drove to Death Valley and back and the thing is still hanging in there. Will the stealership put it back on for me or they will blame the lift and big tires?

    Those are a sick replacement ^
    There's actually all sorts of things we should replace and upgrade and extend when we lift a 4R especially with KDSS.
    I installed virtually non of them. But I'm saving for them now that I know much more than in 2021.

    I thinking your sway IS having the his issue cuz of the lift and geometry change

    50/50 if they will. They may say your lift is the issue or you may find a dealer that says sure why not and not really care about the lift.
    My dealer tells me that if a lift is the obvious reason for a issue they won’t cover it but if it’s not obvious they will fix things like this but the service director and service advisor are off road junkies

    I am at the dealer and they can't find the part no., what the hell. I am getting another tech to have a look at it and see if they can put it back on, the part doesn't seem damaged to me.

    Negative.
    It's a pressed on metal strap from the factory.
    But I like the metal zip idea, I'm stealing that
    @Yotaholic
    If you upgrade to Kdss front sway bar billet clamps to replace proprietary pressed and fixed metal straps, it gives you the opportunity to cheat the system a little by centering the sway bar even more by not being limited by the straps
