Re: Sway Bar Removal

Would a compromise set-up make sense?

Pitch the tiny rear bar, and install a smaller diameter front bar (assuming someone would fab this). Like some others, I didn't have sway bars on my previous 4x4, but it had solid axles front and rear. I could certainly live with the additional body roll on the FJ. Losing the rear bar would improve rear traction, and using a lighter front bar would improve front traction a bit while not allow excessive articulation to destroy CV joints.
** Don't take out you rear sway bars!!! **

Taking them out won't improve much, and all it will do is have you unseat your rear coils. Trust me, us 4Runner guys have tried doing the rear disconnects and they don't help anything.
