Sway bar?

[Boss_Taco77]

So I’ve heard of a lot of people taking their sway bar off after a lift. Have any of you done this or used a shim kit to drop it. Mine sits about 5/8” away from the bottom of my coil and I don’t really like how close it sits and would hate for it to rub my new coils while off-road.

I left mine on. I didn't want more body roll so I used the spacers to keep it away from the coils.

Who makes the spacer kit

Been off for about 5 or 6 yrs...
Im still alive.

Smoother ride, more lean around sharp corners or quick left/right movements, but how often do you slalom?

For daily driving i got used to it very quick and drive thru canyons regularly, even mrs. Jangles drives it thru the twisties with no issues.

It smooths out the bumps and allows more articulation.

Try it for a while... if u dont like it, get a swaybar relocate/drop kit from toytec and reinstall.

Yeah I’ve been debating doing that just wanted to here more from someone who had it off for a while. Thank you I guess I know what I’m doing this afternoon [emoji1419]

It’s done. I got my sway bar off and it does feel smoother over cracks and bumps. Didn’t really notice any difference in the lean yet. I will keep you guys updated and let you know if I decide to keep it off

go to ur fav trail, find a deep hole to drop 1 front tire into.
Notice how the suspension droops more without pulling the other side up and how the frame twists and creaks LESS.

Enjoy having an ACTUAL Independent Front Suspension.


oh, and find and empty parking lot to do some low speed left/right maneuvers.
