Question swaybars ?

Is there any thing bad with not running swaybars? Other then the on road body roll.

Yeah, you get this really annoying extra articulation when you're off road. It really sucks because it makes getting over stuff just a little easier.... (I'm messing with you, dude... )

To my knowledge, other than the body roll, there is no other issue.

I haven't had mine hooked for months now...I don't really notice the difference. I guess it might roll more, but i can't tell. Now, that is on a leaf spring truck, which is what you have, so it should be the same. Not sure but it might be worse on a 4runner with coil rears if both bars are disoconnected.

If you don't drive your runner like a porsche 911, you'll never even notice, except for as taco climber said, the extra articulation.

i have had mine off on the front for quiet some time. If you dont drive like a race car them you will hardly notice. This is with the stock T-bars too. I have some new downey ones and im told this will help with the lean.

I disconnected my front a little while ago after breaking an end link. I hardly notice any more body lean than normal, but it does seem to ride better, and the extra flex offroad is definitely noticeable.

anyone upgrade their swaybars to a thicker one and just gotten disco's? looking for how the ride would be on the road with thicker sways and a lift with mud terrains, i never need to disconnect my swaybar anyways (atleast when im in florida) and want to know how much improvement onroad could be gained? i did notice when i undid them in tellico it was flexier offroad but def. noticed it on the roads to get to the the entrance north of murphy

It's possible you may experience some uneven tire wear, depending on how you drive.
