Sway bar removal?

Can I remove my sway bar on 1997 T100 and drive it without it on? Wanting to improve flex, I need all I can get out of this IFS.

Yep, it will dip more on turns but you can drive it. I took mine off and drove for a solid 2 years no problem.

Haven't had a sway bar on my truck since I bought it. That'd be...5 years? You'll be fine. Just remember that it isn't there, and like cjm said, it will dip more in turns.

Update. Crawled under it today and pulled sway bar off. Drove it and it's now much smoother. I did notice a dip around corners but nothing bad. I made evasive type maneuvers at 35 mph and also at hwy speeds 75mph and there was nothing I did not think was totally controllable. Then I made a few hard braking and evasive turns and again it was fine. Glad I took it off!!!
