I'm commiting suicide ... :( (sway bar problems)
Im driving w/o front or rear swaybars. Its scary.
So my front swaybar end-link mount ...the one that has the bushing and holds the sway bar to the frame snapped in half. So I had to take the front swaybar out. In the process of taking the greased endlink from my lower A-arm, I broke the seal and now I need a new one. Where do I get a new one!?

yikes. with 8" of lift without sways..i'd be a lil skeered rounding corners too. speaking of sans swaybars...does it make a noticable difference in articulation? i read that on an ifs rig, d/c'd swarbars dont make much of a difference. is there anything to be gained up front? how about in the rear? i need more travel up front...maybe some disco's will help...

I ran without a rear sway bar for about 6 months. The 2nd time I lifted my drivers front tire off of the ground while making a left hand turn through traffic I put it back on. Lifting a tire while on the street is scary stuff.

Im starting to like it now w/o the either swaybars on ! haha.
Its definetly smoother over bumps and offroad! I think my truck did a little better w/o the front swaybar connected when I went to Hollister for the 2nd time.
Eeek..Yeah, I feel like my truck is just going to flop on its side one of these days on the street. That would suck.

From what I have read, it sounds like the extra articulation you get by removing the front sway bar is diminished by the fact that when the suspension has to droop that far, there is no weight on the tire. So even though it is making contact, there is not enough force to allow the tire to make any traction due to the design of IFS.

I pulled the sway bar on mine a couple of years ago after i bashed hard on a rock and bent the snot out of it were it was causing problems binding on the hard breakline on th wheel.
So i pulled it out, links and all and its been hanging on the wall sence. Havnt noticed a single diffrance but im not sporting a lift kit soooooo..
