Removed both sway bars !

Couple of days ago I have removed both sway bars from 95 4runner. From what I hear most people removed only front one, but I've tried both, and probably because I've got coil spacers, making it pretty stiff, in back and rs5000 shocks all 4 corners, there is not much more of a body roll. Did make some difference off road, nothing crazy , but you notice it in certain situations.
Any questions ?

wait until someone pulls out in front of you and you have to take evasive maneuvers, slamming on the brakes and jerking the wheel to go around them... I bet you'll think about putting that rear sway bar back on then


I noticed the difference with my single cab pickup when I removed mine, and it scared me enough to put it back on...

I removed mine, only had a front. I don't recommend driving a lifted truck like a sports car.

I hear what you're saying, lamsuperbleeder, but I drive this thing like an old lady, and always allow good distance btwn cars.
Also, in emergency, on a truck like mine, I try just to use brakes, not using a steering wheel. Better to be rearended then hit someone on side.
