Rear swaybar perm disco

[TangoBravo]

So I am thinking of removing the rear swaybar, my question is what does it change on the road? I expect more body roll but is it real bad without it is it something you can get use to? I have a bad swaybar end link and would just rather remove it all together then deal with it, or I may just remove the bad link and leave one side connected and buy the new link and just keep it in the glove box or whatever. I really don't know at this point so I want some input from someone with experiance running no sway bar before I really decide what I want to do.

There's definetely a big change to running no swaybars front and rear. And it really is something that you have to get used to. It feels like it wants to tip over but it never does.

But man is it fun without them on the feel of the tb swaying in corners is an awesome feeling.

But just look at my pics in the flex shot thread that's the kind of flex you can get without them on. Which would really help if you had a G80.

I would say why waste money on swaybar endlinks if your just going to be wheeling? No point really your just going to prematurely wear them out. Or you could just get used to the sound a bad link makes and ride it that way.

Yeah steve thats kinda what I was thinking, and I was going to leave the front connected and just undue the rear for now and see how that played out. I just really didn't see a point in replacing parts that Iam going to be disconnecting anyways unless someone on here posts a really good reason that I had not been able to think of to keep the rear on. I know it will sway more but Im not in high school so I don't go racing around the city and I think I would be able to get away with it on the road.

Fully disco is a bit unnerving, but fine if driven with care. I am going to unhook my rear and connect the front when i get time and see how it acts on and off road.

[TangoBravo]

Ok yeah I think I will leave the front connected and just disco the rear and when off road if I need to or think I might need to I will disco the front, but because the wife drives the TB I don't think I will disco both at the sametime while onroad. Thanks for all the input guys.

Ive had mine disco for 2 weeks now and there is a bit of getting use to but it works out in the end you get use to it.

[TangoBravo]

Yeah I went ahead and disco'd mine this after noon, just before I took it to get the treadwrights put on.

I'm curious to see how things work out with the front connected and rear disconnected. I've been running with front disco'd for months now and its been great. Took some getting used to at first, but now I forget that it is disconnected. I would just reconnect it and disconnect the rear, but my end links are shot, so I wouldn't have an accurate read.

[TangoBravo]

So far I like it, I am lifted 3" and have taller then stock tires on and I don't really notice too much extra roll. It does roll more then it use to but I would say it is very acceptable so far I have not like it has been dangerous at any time and the extra flex it gives you is great so all in all I really like it and won't be reconecting any time soon I just don't see the need. I didn't tell the wife I discoed the rear and she has driven it several times and hasn't said a thing normally she notices little things so that should tell ya something there.

Reviving an old thread here, did you remove the rear sway bar? If so how did you do it with out cutting it off? Is there even a way to get it off with out hacking it off?

[mikekey]

We had just the front removed for a little under a year, and drove all the way out to Utah, around Moab and back like that. The front becomes loose. We've now opted for just the rear only disconnected while keeping the front in place. The car is more stable, and we've got plenty of flex for offroad. Probably will stay this way.

Rear away bar is relatively easy to remove. Unscrew the end links and remove them if you can. Then it's just a matter of getting an angle so the sway bar will slide out. Mines still in tact but the end links had to be cut. Hardly noticed any difference.

I had my front removed for all of a few hours before I connected it back up. Scary feeling, rolls a lot. Even more so with weight on it I bet.

I like having the front connected only.

[JorDaneeKey]

Having the front off wasn't bad with just suspension lift. With a body lift it rolled a lot more, hence why we put the front back on. The rear came off easily enough, but I had to help wiggle it out.

And that is WHat she (literally) said.

Guess I'm not following...The end links are removed. I see no way to slide the bar out.

[drburke]

Is it still in the original spot? Mine were hung up on the end links and once I removed it, the sway bar moved on its own freely. I think I had to shift it to one side, then bring it down on the other side to go under the truck.

Pics might be helpful to see where you're at.

I had to unbolt the front of one of the lower control arms to get it out.

I've had the front disconnected for over a year, it rolls more, but you get used to it, just gotta slow down some. Some of the harder highway turns are unnerving at 65-70. Around town and what not is a non issue.
The front sway bar on 03 and up ( if I remember right) goes through the frame. Apparently you can get it out if you lift the motor some... or you can cut it off, or just leave it disconnected.

The rear sway bar disconnects at the endlinks and axle, let the axle go to full droop, and assuming you have longer than stock shocks you can wiggle it out while playing with the axle height if you remove a wheel.

If you can completely raise the rear end, its easy. With no end links, and one of the bushings and caps removed, it will come out, with some strategic rotating. Did the complete removal, last weekend, and it took about 20 mins. I didn't have to unbolt anything else.
