i have a 91 X on a 5.5 inch superlift suspension lift. the prolbem is is that i am 17 and my dad says i have to run the front sway bar. what i have done is removed the rear sway bar and just put the sw extensions on the front. but i cant get it to flex at all in the front. to get them in i had to bend the lower mounts out so i could get them in. after tightening them down they are tight enugh that you cant tell that the bracket had been bent. i not sure that it is in a jam or it is the sw's in all. the rear will flex good but the front stays level and it wont flex at all. im thinkin of making quick disonects so they can be removed easly.

make quick disco's. Without a front swaybar its VERY scary (trust me)
 












mine will take a dive around turns if i have my front off and im only up 2 inches (soon to be more)
 






Chuck it on a first gen.
 






ok well i think ill do some quick dissconects to be safe. does anyone have a write up or thread on them.
 






Hey man,
Well running with quick disconnects is probably your best bet. I have been running without my swaybars and it is awesome off road, but it is probably better off havin them on while on the street. I made a set of quick disconnects that im gonna install soon, i will snap a pic tomorrow and post it here.
 


















I dont like quick discos. They suck to reconnect. If truck isnt perfectly level its rather difficult. I have run without sway bars front or rear for a long time and it doesnt bother me at all. Of cource its preferance and legaly required in most states
