the valve is tucked way in. there's no way the sway bar can hit it while wheeling. if the sway bar hits.. you got bigger problem to worry about than the valve lol

also regarding road debris or anything like that... a simple RCI skid plate kit solves that problem. i mean, if you're really worried about getting damage done to the underside, a skid plate SHOULD be installed, even if you don't wheel.

yeah it's dumb design. i still have no idea why they did what they did.

I mentioned how messy the oil changes were to a kid I work with saying the same thing, "why would they design it this way?" He said it was to make it impossible for idiots to impact on the plug or filter. I think he's correct because it makes absolutely no sense otherwise.

I always just chalked it up to the engine design team didn't communicate with the chassis design team. We see that sort of thing all the time where I work. Or the fact that the Hemi was used in several different vehicles. Either way it still sucks. If it's any consolation, my F150 is only marginally better when it comes to oil changes.
