If you like the feeling of driving a car and being able to take corners, don't do it.
Haha there's definitely a lot more side to side lean. It's most noticeable on off/on-ramps on the highway.
I don't mind it, like I said. To each his own.

Yeah no front here either. With the GOBI rack up top I definitely notice. But I drive it like a lifted truck with weight up top, which means slow. Once I get some things buttoned up I probably will take the rear off too.

One thing I'll add that some may notice... With both sway bars removed and my CDC on the lower end (below 4, so pretty soft), I get a tiny bit of wander at highway speeds that I don't get if I'm riding it stiff. (Are that's what she said jokes appropriate here?)

That's what she said jokes are always appropriate. Always.

I took the front off, drove it for a week then put it back on. Didn't like the side roll driving thru the Mnts every weekend to go snowboarding. (maybe being in a vehicle going 80mph and rolling 2.5 times has something to do with this)
Are there quick disconnects for the front sway bar? I can definitely see the benefit not running one while 4wheelin.....

having it out in the MTs do you feel a benefit

I'm also interested in some quick disconnects. Back when I had my old pathfinder I would just unbolt them. It was scary driving on the road with out them connected. My front wheel would lift off the ground during sharp corners.

You do get a little bit better articulation since each side can work truly independent of each other.

I removed both my swaybars when my new suspension went in. I only notice a big difference when doing tight S turns. It is fine driving around town and on the highway. I currently do not have any additional weight on the roof or up front which could make a difference. I have Icon 2.5 inch shocks / struts all the way around. A 4th gen with 2.0 icons had substantially more roll with sways removed.

Haven't ran a front or rear sway in a long time, going on 2 years. Never had a "scary" moment or anything weird as a result. I think the key thing to consider is that your vehicle is sprung correctly. Under sprung with no sway bars will make for an interesting ride. It sure does make the truck drive nice on and off road. I could never go back! I run bypass shocks front and rear and normally have the compression tubes turned down about 25% more for regular around town driving than I do in the dirt. That being said, I still ran this truck sans sway bars before I had the bypass shocks and it was still great.
