Are you seriously asking this question?

 

IMHO if you 'wheel at all, just leave it off.

Different strokes for different folks - most like it off, but you have to be aware the truck will handle differently.

Search around to get a wide variety of opinions.

 

yes im asking this question i am a novice at cars and trucks i dont know what things do on vechiels. I pump my own gas and can check my oil but thats about all i know about trucks. Whats wrong with asking questions this is how we learn.My son and i did pull our motor and did rebuild it and yota tech people did help us out alot and to all who did i say thank you. would you be critisizing me for asking stupid questions if i were a woman,most guys on here would not and try to be the hero answering her question

 

Keep your skirt on, Shirley. It should be called an anti-sway bar. It keeps your truck from swaying too much on turns, but limits articulation if you wheel, rock climb etc.

 

some people leave it off or disconnected all the time (like I do) but you must be aware that youll lean a lot more during turns, so get used to that. some buy quick disconnects and leave it connected on the road and reach in and quickly disconnect it for off road. if you do any kinda suspension lift and want to keep your sway bar, youll likely need to extend the things it attaches to.

 

thank you

 

Have taken my rear one off but still have my front one and it handled like a late seventies range rover

 

does disconnecting your way bar make ANY difference in off road performance of does it just get you better wheel articulation?

 

bet wheel articulation is better off road performance in my opinion.... i got front and rear off and i love it

 

Ride is a lot more comfortable offroad too

 

So how exactly did it break?

 

Yes it will preform better.
However on a coil spring vehicle I'd only run disconnects.

 

ok, i'll think seriosly about getting a quick disconnect...bu what brand do you use, what model and how would YOU rate it in performance and is it easy to disconnect?

 

We make quick discos.

 

where did you break it? did you break the bar or just the endlinks?

 

Wabfab and 4crawler make'em. Me, I removed mine as I only had one on the T100 and while the front handled nice the rear didnt have a swaybar and puled in a turn and I didnt like it.

Truck is 100% better now with none.

 

Get some WabFab quick disconnects and put those on, and then take the sway bar completely off... You'll have helped feed Brian's family, AND you get better articulation!

 

guys do you mind if i put my five eggs in.i have removed both front and rear anti roll bars(sway bars) my truck is kitted out with +3 es9000s front and rear and has the heavy duty land cruiser spring conversion. and also has a 4 inch suspension lift with 2 inch body lift.this truck handles really well on our british roads,i guess youve all heard what our roads are like.but i was very suprised at just how well it does handle considering the centre of gravity.yes there is a slight roll but you get use to it and compensate your driving style.
