sway bar delete opinions thread

I haven't had a sway bar on either of my trucks with the total mileage over 100,000 miles. The truck doesn't get knocked out of alignment any easier and I haven't seen of felt any issues without a sway bar.

Why? Because Stoner.

I like the feeling without the swaybar a lot more. It has more body roll, but it handles smaller bumps and everything a bit smoother and I haven't noticed any handling negatives.

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.

I noticed the most difference in body roll when I wasn't driving aggressively, when I was trying to push the truck to it's limits, there was a difference in body roll, but it wasn't much, where I really noticed it was just cruising, going straight it kinda wobbles a little bit, and when making easy turns (not curves but actual turns) it rolls almost as much as pushing the limits with the sway bar on

I like how it rolls, it is like riding a polaris rzr.

Stock shocks, I liked no sway bar.
Icon shocks, definitely no sway bar.
Fox 3.0, better with the sway bar.

I also like how it rolls, it's not a feel like you're gonna flip over roll, it's more of a lean, the truck actually feels more planted than it used to, all the wheels keep better contact with the road

I have the RPG UCA and LCA's, so no swaybar.

I will preface this in that I drive a lot of hot street cars and am used to corners.

The truck wallows around medium to high speed tight corners now where it didn't before. it also wanders a little at speed, I find myself making micro adjustments where before the truck tracked true. It's not the alignment, that is spot on.

I can live with this however, I equate it to complaining about the harsh ride on the F430, it comes with the territory.

It has caused me to knock down my average speed on TX highways from 85 to 75.

The true off-road test will come in 9 days.

I drove a raptor with swaybar on and mine with swaybar off
The different is the steering response body, body roll is not that noticeable.
I think body roll is worse if the truck is in lower perch settting.
Actually you can barelly feel the different at mid perch with swaybar off on a streight line with bumpy and patched roads, steering still shaky.
My dad's raptor is at 28psi mid perch swaybar on
My truck us at 30psi mid perch swaybar off
