How To Sway bar removal, DIY

[BlackMamba]

JTRATX had his sway bar on at Cycle ranch. Mine was off. He drove my truck and did notice any meaningful difference between the two setups. JTRATX, correct me if needed. Don't really take anything at an angle there so maybe not a good testing ground. That said he didn't seem to think my truck was at a disadvantage in the 180 degree turns. So mine is staying off.

You are correct, I didn't notice a huge difference in the turns, your truck leaned over a bit more but that's it. Next time we go out I'll probably play around with it a bit more.

I need more laps with it off to compare. I only ran about 3-4 laps driving Mamba's truck with it off.

And on top perch with swaybar off, the additional spring preload makes it less noticable..

My wife noticed it way more than I did. She hated driving it with the swaybar off. I, on the other hand, love it.

Anyone taken the sway bar off on the stock perch? I'd have to assume it rolls around quite a bit more than mid/top.

After a few hundred miles with it off I personally don't see a appreciable difference one way or the other. I was intentionally trying to induce body roll and aiming for pot holes. I have yet to push it off road yet, but street manners have stayed about the same IMO. I'm on middle perch so that might have played a part, but I say give it a try if your on the fence. Its a no commitment mod, so what do you have to lose.

I just took my right end link off but yet to drive it Down the road. I have my banshee loaded in the rear so I'll check back with you's after some minor testing with a toy in the bed. *im on middle perch

^^^NICE!
I just removed one sides end link and it's amazingly better just driving 6 miles down the road! I had my 4-wheeler on the rear as well and body roll wasn't a factor at 70. MUST I remove the whole bar to get full independence on each wheel or it's good how I have it with ONLY ONE end link?? . I didn't want to remove both and then have to worry about the zip ties holding up....
