Rears to front question?

When I do my rear springs to the front do I throw out the torque bar and swaybar? if so how will my on-road driving be? I've been looking at some pics and im not seeing them.

With crossover steering, yes you can ditch them, in fact you won't be able to fit the stock torque rod or sway bar on there.

Sure, no reason it won't. Torque rod is only needed with the stock push-pull steering. Lose that and the torque rod is not needed. Sway bar can be added if you find it is needed:

I've not had a sway bar on my '85 in about 9 years now.
