towing without a rear sway bar

[aeaglenfitch]

good idea? bad idea? i have tt + shackles if that changes anything it's just a trailor with some quads. my max speed will probably be around 60

Bad idea in my opinion. I wouldn't even drive w/o a big rear bar.

I didn't feel much of a difference driving up to 85mph without a sway bar. There is definitely a difference though. I would not tow without a sway bar.

yeah, i dont mind driving regularly without it it's towing without it that im worried about.

Just my opinion, but the rear sway bar really doesn't do a whole lot. It's quite small IMO, and I had mine disconnected for about a year until I got rid of the front one. I only hooked it back up because without either the thing is downright scary on the road. I have to ask though if your sig you say you have quick disco's, so why would you be towing without it?

 

[aeaglenfitch]

just curious.

just use it....you have it so why not.

I tow my 13'' fiberglass boat (Boston Whaler) with its 40hp engine (boat + engine + trailer = 1500lbs) and i have a SOA conversion with no sway bar. I went all the way up to 85mph while towing it and i went around some high speed curves on the highway with no problems at all. Of course it sways a little more but nothing that will scare you into thinking your going to flip. I never once thought about the fact that i didnt' have a rear sway bar while i was towing my boat.

Thanks,

How much can a sway bar do on a solid axle??
