Are you sure it's the lack of a rear sway bar that's causing the handling problem? I twisted off one of the mounting bolts for mine in the process of removing my rear third. Requires removing the gas tank to drill out the bolt, so I've just left the sway bar off. For the life of me I can't tell the difference, even pulling a trailer on a winding canyon road.

I have been without my sway bar for over 2 years now. Drives straight as an arrow on the road with 33s. If you are having handling problems it is probably not the sway bar. Look over the front end, ball joints, tie rods, etc etc. any play in those parts will cause bad handling. How are the shocks? in good order?? all stuff to look at. good luck

It's more of the rear end being sloppy the front feels fine
