Does anyone know if disconecting the front sway bar while offroading is bad for anything? I tried doing a search but all I could find was people talking about how it makes more body roll which im not concerned about while going 3 MPH on trails. Does it put more stress on other suspension components? My shocks arnt going to pop out or anything are they? thanks,

Russ, it won't hurt anything. What it does is allow for more flex in the front and will help you get more traction. Personally, I wouldn't run without the sway bar on the highway although some people do. It can get pretty squirly (sp?) without it at high speeds.
 






alright thanks!:thumbsup: I had it off for a few weeks ( I don't do much highway driving) but I put it back on when I went up to the mountain the other day for stability reasons and thought I would ask before I removed it again. thanks again,
