What are benefits of removing the front or rear sway bar? Is it as simple as taking it off? Thanks. -Joe

Articulation is the name of the game, the rear one is easy, 10 mins at max... i left my front one on to keep stable @ highway speeds for passing vehicles and digging into corners (yes i drive it like i stole it lol)...
 






When I used to have the D35 up front, I made a set of disconnects that I could remove for off-road and then put back on for highway driving. They were the drop down pieces from the sway bar.
Did not need all that swaying around on the curvy roads that i drive.
 












fair warning, you WILL notice a big difference in driving with out the rear sway especially if your an aggressive driver like me, i had to relearn how the rear felt going in and out of turns and how it acted in wind and wet weather conditions...

all i have to say is ... Baby Has A Fat Ass....but then again that might have something to do with my LS in the rear :-p

I wouldn't say that's necessarily true, i really didn't notice much of a difference at all, the front definitely a huge difference but not so much the rear. And i've been known to tear it up in the b-dos as well
 






I yanked both of mine, with soft springs and a welded rear. It gets a little entertaining at times, but just do not drive like a sports car:D
 






no rear sway bar- rs9000 cranked in to 9,
I added the sawbar back to mine to compensate for my twisty mountain roads. made the bolts into quick disconnects at the bottom.

Removed my front bar. Flexed way better. left rear on with F350 front links. dual shocked the front and it corners about the same as stock. Front flexes about 18" with extended radius arms. could only get 10 with it on.
