Sway bar question

[junkyardbiker]

Newbie here for the T4R's, just wondering if any of ya'll are running disconected swaybars or completely removed on your daily drivers? Mine sees dirt every few days and without the funds for a set of disconnects, I was considering fully removing it for now? Or is just going to turn it into a deathtrap wallowing pig on the road for the few miles I drive on pavement?

Depending on the state, it may be illegal to remove.

However, I haven't ran one for years. No difference that I noticed, however, my front suspension was fairly stiff.

Im considering it still. I got to wheel mine for the first time today and I had some tire lift going over the top of the highest spot in Florida lol. Theres a spot near my home where everyone goes to play and only the brave jeeps seem to try this dirt hill at the end. 4Lo and a little throttle took me right up and over but I had to rock through a little at one point and got some clutch smell :shrug: gotta get that marlincrawler clutch for how I drive before I burn up my DD clutch.

Pulled mine off and noticed a huge difference. I don't get much body roll, if any. Mine is a daily driver also.

I took my linkage off when I did my cv axel. I notice more body roll with stock height Kyb struts. Mine is a DD and I Just make turns slower.

As long as you are mindful of the fact you don't have a front sway bar, you should be alright.

Yank it.

You don't have to remove it, you can just disconnect the links.

I tried it when rebuilding our truck with urethane bushings. The truck is scary without the sway bars in my view, but we're used to the suspension being more set-up for the street (ie upgraded torsion bars, full urethane suspension kit, shocks, springs,ball joints, etc). If your going on a trail or logging road, the links are easy enough to disconnect if you want. This way you have the best of both worlds.

I cut off both front and rear sway bars, trimmed off a good 20 pounds too. I dont have any body/suspension lift so the body roll isnt all that bad. Im running stock height KYB's in front and skyjacker 8000's in the rear, and its a DD. long as your not hitting corners/off ramps at like 40+ and you have decent/good suspension youll be good. Def helped with flexing on the trails..
