Rear sway bar question......

RockRod · May 24, 2004

For those of you with any lift at all...
Did you keep your rear sway bar on, remove it, extend it, or upgrade it.
I have not even gone over 4" of lift yet and keep pulling the sway bar out of its mount. :helpme:

With 3" of lift and 31" tires I removed mine and never missed it on road and get much better flex off road. So much that I had to install Tomken's rear brake line extender.

Ditch that bitch.

Took mine out and threw it as far as I could when I did the first lift, a 2" BB.

Remove it, you'll most likely not even notice it is gone.

But try for yourself and then decide.

My bushings were going, so I removed it, & haven't looked back since. I'm at 5- 5 1/2" , & I notice it a little, but it's not that bad.

I still have mine with 4.5 inches of lift. It does affect articulation, but I still have a fair amount of drop and compression. My Jeep is a DD on twisty roads so I have kept mine on. Does anyone make a quick disco for the rear?

You might want to get better shocks and see what it rides like with those (or if you have adjustable ones play with the settings). I never had mine on so maybe that's why I don't miss it: I do notice the difference when the front one isn't on though, but without the rear one I fly up in the mountains till my passengers complain that I should slow down or I will get some new decorations on the upholstery

Took mine off- don't miss it any. If anything, it improved the ride.
