Classic symptom of a lifted Ex with no swaybar. Put it back on, and disconnect for offroad.
 






my b2 was lifted and had worse alignment with no sway bar and never felt like that
 






The BII is alot lighter. Why not put the thing on and see if it solves the problem? Seems like the easiest thing to try, and it doesn't cost anything.
 






i bought it without the sway bar so i don't have it, do you know of anybody who makes a quick disconnect link, i made them for my B2
 






picked up a used sway bar and links from the local u-pull-it and now all is well, all my handling probs are fixed
 






Glad to hear you fixed the problem... as RangerX already mentioned they don't call the part a sway bar for nothing.. At stock height driveability wouldn't be that bad, but the higher you lift the vehicle the more it will sway.
