How To Sway bar removal, DIY

[Aaron]

Right on, let us know how it goes, pretty sure you'll love the way it rides with the bar off.

Just took mine off!!!

The little 8mm and 18mm at the same time was a little tricky until I figured it out, LOL

And the heat shield was a little PITA, but super easy to do and 100% reversible.

I will report back with any differences I notice.

Alright, been driving with out the sway bar on for awhile now on an otherwise stock truck and all ON-Road driving.

It does feel a little, uh, can't think of the right word... I feels like it learns more in the turn, but even though I, feel like I have more response coming to me from the road.... I don't know the right adjective.... LOL

I am going to be leaving mine off for the time being. It makes me feel like I can predict what the truck wants to do better, as instead of the truck hiding it intentions.

I hope that makes any sense, just try it and see what you think, it is 100% reversible...

Just got back from my trip to the lake with the swaybar off. I was worried that the sway/body roll would be a problem or exaggerated while towing. I had about 6K with the boat and gear and towed at the speed limits with no trouble. Logged about 800 miles. The truck seemed to handle pretty much as it does with out the trailer. I would not want a non Raptor owner to just hope in my truck and go as it is different. Even stock the Raptor has its own handling chareteristics that are amplified with the swaybar off. All in all I am going to leave it off as the ride and bump steer are greatly improved for the top perch setting.
BTW the Raptor is a great truck to travel in. On road or off. Love this truck

I am noticing more front tire wear. I am going to rotate the tires this week and see what happens. Anyone else notice this?

Yup my front wore out faster. Rotate them and balance them.

Because of the sway bar being off? or just in general? I noticed the tire wear started after taking the sway bar off.

I didn't notice it due to the sway. Just ioverall my nitto trail graps wore out first on the front. And rotate them and balance every 8k km
