I ran without a sway bar for about five minutes, yeah that was a bit sketchy. Probably OK for a crawler, but for any high speed driving through the whoops, it felt like it was going to do a barrel roll.
I have no affiliation with Overland custom designs whatsoever, they just provide a really nice solution to a problem for me. After I snapped a third GEN link, that was plenty for me to find and improved solution.
I wish someone made a good Bolt on hydraulic Jounce bumper/ stop for us but those don’t seem to exist. If you are bouncing off the end of the travel even with the Duro bump regularly, (which I do, but it’s never been a problem.) you may have to consider either going up in spring rate, or adding a taller ride/ taller spring height to accommodate travel.
I am a bit in awe at some of the stupid hard hits I’ve taken….so much so that I honestly thought I was going to break the 4runner and in half more than once…… good suspension, Duro bumps, and overland custom design swaybar links is a sweet sweet combo.

I'm running without links at all, front and rear. Sway bar has been completely removed in the front, and in the rear it's there but not connected. No issues. Feels GREAT when wheeling. When driving I get a little bit of body roll making u-turns or cornering but nothing that feels sketchy at all.
