How To Sway bar removal, DIY

[JP7]

I hit the 91 west to the 110 south offramp at prob 70 or 80. at the apex of the turn it felt like I was going to fly off the ramp, because its arched upwards. Other than that (it was when I first took it off) I have hit offramps like that no problem. Maybe it was psychological.

People comment about the feeling of body roll in the passenger seat, but I'm use to it and don't notice.

I'm used to it now as the body roll is anticipated after a few hundred miles of use. But I got whiplash last week and have damaged C4 and C5 in my neck - I notice that the body roll causes a lot of discomfort while driving and am considering putting the bar back on for a week to see if it helps the healing. (temporary though, it's coming off once I can use my neck properly!)

I removed my front bar on IFS toyota truck for more independant movement and liked it, it did have more roll on street hard corners. It did way better for offroad pre-running at that time.
I am curious though, if the yaw sensors will kick in and apply brake or limit power (baby sit)??? I saw this on my 01 sequoia baby sitting too much for my liking....

Lots of peer pressure! If I like it after a week of commuting I will probably completely remove it this Saturday. Will be in the dirt in a few weeks - looking forward to testing it out then.

Mine is completely off now.

It's pretty much awesome isn't it Mamba?

I do like it. And now I don't have to worry about those zip ties breaking loose!

Just did it & it rides alot smoother over bumps. Definitely has an increase in body roll, but the trade off is worth it IMO.

i know i dont have a raptor but i had an issue with my lift so i ended up taking off my sway bar and ive had it off for about 500+ miles so far. i was concerned about it possibly causing some damage if left off, but after reading the comments so far, i'll probably leave it off for a while cuz it's kind of a pita to put back on.

Just took it off, I don't see it going back on. A little roll is fun from time to time.
