sway bar delete opinions thread

[Jay.gordon]

Anyone got a quick How to for this?

 

[khcdave]

just remove one link if you want to test how it feels

Honestly sway bars are installed safety devices really should be on only if you want them like seat belts, helmets and many other things. It should be your choice and your choice only. I dont need some group telling me what is safe for me and what is not. Like this Havoc hills event, I need a effing helmet to drive one course.. **** that shit.. Again someone telling em what is safe and what is not.. Oh wait, its for your own good...

Hey when i did sway bar off i removed both of the links, but i leaved with the bar on. Then to avoid any accident i installed only one link so it will still play individual. Have you done that as well?
I like how the body roll interact with the truck similar as riding an utv.

It sits higher than my father's crew can raptor when i removed sway bars off my ford raptor
My tires turned LPSI light on at 35psi nitro filled, so i m running my truck mid perch swaybar off with 35psi all four tires nitro filled. I should lower then a bit more low to 32psi
My average MPG is 9.2

Go lower. Try 30.

Go lower. Try 30.

Ok, thanks. I got some nitro tanks 98% nitrogen in case i need to fill the tire up.
I will try 30psi to see how the car behave on turns
I check my fathers truck and he is running at 28psi on his 18x35" tires

32k miles and loving it without sway bar. Mid perch at a minimum though is needed. When I upgraded to methods, the added stability is perfect.

Anyone complaining about reminders of safely doing/operating anything are just the people that should be listening and not complaining. And where liability and common sense meet the road,mandatory. It's always the dumb asses that end up suing someone for their own stupidity.
Good write up. I for one know what running without out one will feel like as well as what it does to the suspension/chassis. While the difference is subtle,there is a reason the engineers put it in there. And it's primary reason isn't body roll. It's front end side to side torsion/flex. These big heavy trucks under the stress they are designed for should have a sway bar on. You will notice your alignments will be out of spec within a couple hundred miles of off road use or hard street cornering at high speed. Under heavy driving conditions our sway bars also act as a,"sub frame connector" that helps the front of the frame from twisting.
While you may like way the truck feels,it will come at a price down the road.

I did mine with mid perch and no alignment on the front. Tires are running at 30psi

This post may not pertain to many, but when I had the RPG lower control arms installed it became obvious that the sway bar was to be removed. The installer gave it a test drive and said he didn't notice much if any difference in body roll (he had test driven it every time I made a suspension upgrade). [Done prior to dual 3" Fox fronts]

I didn't notice any difference in body roll. Maybe I just don't drive aggressive enough.
