Looking for suggestions...do I take the entire sway bar off? I have seen some people on here who have done that.
Do I just buy the Over the Counter Repair Kit from Advanced for 18 bucks?
Do I take this opportunity while it is off to do any sort of upgrade to the front end that would cost less than say, 200-300 bucks?
Taking inputs, thanks gents.

I broke a link too a few days ago and took the whole sucker off. Much better IMO - rides a lot less stiff on road and soaks up the bumps with more travel off road too. I'm just glad I don't have to deal with it anymore because it made a lot of noise and I kept having to tighten it up and it was getting old.
Take it off first before you buy new parts and see how you like it. I will not be replacing mine since my only concern was whether my front tires would rub when it flexed and they don't, so it's staying off for good.
As far as spending $2-300, there isn't much to do down there in the sway bar area. I would just save about $6-700 and get a good OME lift.
