I don't think I miss it, but then none of my jeeps had it because Up Country suspension group came without the rear swaybar from the factory.

Take it off. I took mine off and have not noticed I took it off. But, you have to realize that each Jeep is different. It is also not a sports car, so you have to be carefull of how you drive.

Starboard M is right. Since I took off my rear sway bar I haven't noticed a difference on road. Cherokee already have a high COG so you need to be carefull driving with or without the rear sway bar.

Center of Gravity. It is pretty high on xj's. Do you have a lift on you xj? This can make a difference because if you have a lift then the spring packs will usually be stiffer which makes up for the sway bar being gone. The reason the xj's with the upcountry package didn't have the rear sway bar was because they came with stiffer spring packs in the rear.

Take it off then. The only thing you will notice is how much more flex you will get.

I got a '98 with a 3.5" RE. Removed the rear sway and can't tell a difference. And I drive to and from Idaho twice a year.

Psh I can't even notice mine while it's on there. My tires still stuff way up in the wells with it connected. This leads me to believe it doesn't do much anyway. Another vote for taking it off.

Not a good idea. Most people would advise against this. :lecture:MJ1990buildup said:
