gramby1988 Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 So it should run pretty good down the hwy without to much of an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Yep, I didn't notice any change with the front gone. I did get some body roll on the corners with the rear off, but it's an offroad truck, I'm not trying to drift the thing on the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 My old one remained off after the driver's side mounting bolt snapped when going around a clover-leaf getting on the freeway. It went bang and suddenly the truck dipped to the driver's side and it scared the piss out of me. Once I was used to it, I didn't noticed. But the sudden difference was noticeable.

GrimGreg Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 With my 88 (no sways) I had to do an emergency lane change at 75mph because some idiot pulling on the freeway came right at me, it swerved just fine. It's kinda fun going down the WV turnpike at 80 around tight corners, I'm sure it scares the hell out of the other drivers watching it lean though.

Tungsten Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 yeah you can remove the front sway bar and you can remove the rear if you drive under 60 mph or 100 kmh i have seen pathys with neither sway bars present your bushings might wear out slightly faster without the sway bars though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, AC does and perhaps others. Some members have made their own and some just unbolt the rear bar on one side before wheeling. In general, I'd leave it on unless you hit the dirt though.

RedPath88 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 yeah you can remove the front sway bar and you can remove the rear if you drive under 60 mph or 100 kmh i have seen pathys with neither sway bars present your bushings might wear out slightly faster without the sway bars though Meh, my rear sway bar has been off for several years now and I drive over 60mph on a regular basis. In addition, I have a rack and a matching full sized spare in the rack on top of the truck and I have no issues driving. Does it lean? Yes, but the body roll is not so extreme that I am uncomfortable with it. Is it for everyone? No I am sure many would not like it. But I have spent years driving vehicles that exhibit worse handling characteristics, so I am more less used to it. My front bar, although connected, has no bushings on the frame mounts, so it does little except in extreme situations. I've done many emergency lane changes as well (as grimgreg described) And just like he said, I am sure the lean scares other drivers. But in MY case, with MY setup on MY truck, I am OK with how it handles... your results may and likely will vary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
