Sway bar troubles

[EBexplorer]

I installed a 4 inch suspension lift and now my front sway bar is hitting my driver side coil spring, I will need sway bars drop brackets right? or can I just take it off? Any suggestions?
Thanks, EBexplorer

get the brackets , you need for everyday driving , trust me. I have my rear off right now till I put some spacers on to clear the shocks and it is wobbly,

Thanks mike, hey by the way what kind of gears do you have for those 35's and are the x-terrian good in the mud and road? thanks again

I say get the brakets too. Unless you have really stiff springs and shocks you really need the sway bars.

I just have the stock 3:27's right now, the tires clean great in the mud, I'm going to put 4:10 gears in soon but just spent $$$$$$$$ on rock sliders from Gloria,, and warn manual hubs so have to wait a month or two. the best thing about the tires is that they are really quiet on the road, and with the stock gears i cant run in overdrive, i had to instal an extra push fan in front of the tranny cooler so that it wont over heat.

I say take off both sway bars. I've had both of mine off for about 2 years now. Saves the hassle of diconnecting or taking them off and putting them back on when you go froadin'

fender guy how much lift do you have?

 

[FROADER]

4" w/35s

 

[madmike]

well with my 8.5" and 35's mine is not to stable on the pavement. mabey with dual shocks or somethin it might be but for someone who has never run a lift and tires then i say get the brackest run them and then experiment you know. you must have some damn stiff springs and good shocks, more power to ya.

I just have the basic Trailmaster 4" with kyb gas shocks. You're probably right about someone being a first timer with a lift and tires. I could imagine that your's isn't quite as stable as mine with a 8.5 inch lift too. Anyway, EB, good luck.
