removing the rear sway bar?

[Xan]

I've seen alot of people that they said they've done this, what does it do? That and Why would you?

Better off-road articulation...... more on-road body roll. If you want the best of both worlds, you might consider a sway bar quick disconnect.

 

[schmidlkofer]

it allows more movement of the axle when your off road....

where can you buy those?

Very good question! I did a quick search and came up short; mostly J**p stuff. Someone else may know....

else, you can do it Fletcher style.... "your gonna need some tin foil, some number 8 ball bearings, and a quart of Penzoil, no, make it Quaker State...... come on boys, it's all ball bearings these days."

This fella used some ingenuity with his 'Yota......

Certainly someone on this forum has quick-disconnects? Maybe?

everything i can find is for front sway bars.

So then, it would appear that there are two choices, on or off.

With the amount of intense rigs involved on this forum, it's surprising that someone hasn't thought to do it...... hmmmmm????

 

[schmidlkofer]

yeah....well i took mine off.

That guy really did have some ingenuity when designing that. I also wonder if that would work on an ex/mounty.

Do a search I believe it has been discussed here a few times

I removed mine almost a year ago mainly to get better articulation, but unfortunately, I haven't been offroad yet, but I did however gain a smoother ride over bumps on the highway and around town. II haven't noticed much more body rolly than usual. I can still take corners faster than a lot of people would like, but the ride improvement really impressed me.
