How would that be bad info? If you were involved in a wreck, epecifically a roll over that injured or killed someone, and the other guy had a good lawyer, you don't think that would be held against you? I'd be willingto bet a good lawyer woul dbe able to site some DOT statute requiring all factory safety equipment being necessary.
There is a reason the sway bars are there. They help control body roll. Springs will help and so would shocks, but a stiff enough spring rate will ride rough and only control so much.
I am not a fan of no front sway bars. First and foremost let me explain this:
I really don't care about day to day jaunts or your ability to handle you rig. It's not those situations that give me cause for concern. It's the 1 in a million occurance where you have to make a severe correction to avoid a wreck, deer, door, kid, ect......... senario that makes me keep my stance on front sway bars.
I have a wife and kids. I don't want someone loosing control for a single second and injuring them. I don't wnat my car damaged because someone "thought" they had complete control sinse they "never" had an issue before.
I enjoy being part of the 4wd community, but rest assured of the fact that If I was ever hit by a lifted vehicle (any kind or make) that I would be asking about DOT safety equipment to the police, ins, and a lawyer. If the equip wasn''t there, I'd sue them for every red cent I could bleed out of them.
