I love my 3rd gen without a front sway bar... It rides better, and off road make a huge difference. It doesn't seem to be that bad as fars as swaying around turns. It kinda fun leaning a little...

I had taken my end links off to build a set of my own. After driving it to the hardware to get the parts. I decided to leave them off all together.. Just my 2 cents.. Hope this helps some 3rd geners out there

 

its all personal preference.

ive driven w/out front or rear swaybars for several months and was fine. but i like them connected for DD use.

 

I would say you just have to be aware that it handles differently in an emergency situation than it did before with the sway bars. I would say slowdown at least 10mph, if you normally drive 70mph on the freeway slow down to 60mph. If you normally take a curve at 40mph slow down to 30mph. You have done something that has worsened the on-road handling of your truck. And you may not notice your limits have changed because you don’t always drive your truck to its limits, except in an emergency situation.

It is kind of like saying my truck drives fine without airbags and seatbelts.
