Why would anyone remove the trac bar? You need that. I can see removing the sway bar to gain more flexibility, but never the trac bar.

i think you got sway bar and track bar mixed up.

your trackbar keeps your axle centered
Your sway bar keeps your jeep from "swaying" or body roll

leaf spring = no trackbar

coil springs + not trackbars = death. it will be physically impossible to go faster than 20 mph. unless of course youre running triangulated 4 link suspension.

with out a trac bar you couldnt really drive it....when you turn it would move bady over instead of responding and turning.....with leafsprings you dont need the trac bar to center vehicle over axle....
