nothing at all if you remove the rear. once i lifted mine i got rid of the rear and i am just running the front one now. youll be fine without one for a DD

It'll flex a bit more without it. Its meant to limit flex, in a way.

Stock flexes really.

x2. i never ran mine once i lifted it with my rear, so idk how much limit you get, but you definitely will get more flex with it off. keep your front on thought, you can make quick discos for like $3 so you can disconnect them when you do go offroading

Do a search $7 disconnects under the fab section. You can use the same process and get the materials for cheaper than $7.

If you do decide to ditch your rear swaybar hold on to the axle mounts as they can be used as bpe's for your rear shocks.
