No reason why you needed to move the splash guards to swap out the sway bar.

I had to move mine (2016). Not a problem tho. Put them back because u do need them for airflow control (your pant legs will ride up your leg quickly) and road debris. You've never been caught in a surprise rain storm in NE PA?
Pretty sure you don't want fresh road kill staining your pants.

the back side of bushing block bolt was hard to get too, it was covered by plastic..

You are talking about the 2 plastic plates on the underside, correct? Yes, you had to remove/swing down those to do the sway bar. Those plates help a lot for keeping crap from getting lodged up into the hollows. Helps with noise reduction too by reducing turbulence underneath.

My apologies. I thought you were referring to the oddly shaped rain diverters just in front of the floorboards. Those don't need to be removed, at least not on a 2020+. If you're referring to the plastic "skid plates" under the bike, then those definitely need to be removed.

I also have a 2020 RTL, i did the sway bar change also no problem with splash guards being in the way.

yes the splashplate's had to be removed to remove the stiffener pins, also when i pushed the bushing block bolts out they hit the oddly shaped rain diverters as you call them, the bolts were almost out but hit them, i could have pulled the plastic flap back to get them out, but i choose to loosen them up and slide them back, all that matters, is that i got it installed and it made a big differance on my ride yetserday.. very happy with them.

Glad you got it done. When I swapped out sway bars on my 2021 RT, I pulled those blocks down instead of out the side. They were a struggle but I didn't have to remove anything but those underside plastic pieces.
