Enjoi408 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Is removing the front sway bars really THAT big of a difference driving one road??? I was considering taking off mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDN_S4 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Did you end up putting the front sway bar back in? With the IFS there really is no benefit in removing it. If anything, it should help prevent damage to components that are very sensitive to abuse. The front doesn't do well with flex. Plus I think it will be unsafe on the road, especially on a lifted Pathy. If you ever had to swerve hard to avoid an accident, it's hard to predict that it will handle how it should and who knows what could happen. The rear however can go. I've removed mine permanently and never looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawairish Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Where'd you end up welding to? I feel like the attachment tubes may be too long...if the truck were to rest on the outermost rail, that's a lot of leverage at the mounting point. If it doesn't cause damage there, it seems like it could pin up against the rocker panel, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cntryboy_88 Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Yep cut the attachment tunes down then used angle iron and welded that to the frame then the attachment tube to the angle iron Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
