does it drive bad without it? i didnt think so, if you put one on and i went to your house at night and took it off you wouldnt even know, they make no difference on road.
however they do limit your flex severely off road. soo... take it off take it off!!

It most likely had one originally. No need for the rear sway bar really. I have a 14 foot aluminum boat on my roof and pull a trailer with 4 quads on it. Did not notice any difference from when mine was on to when I pulled it off...

Just please be careful if you need to do any maneuvering at speed. That ability has been compromised by the removal of the rear sway bar and a trailer will only magnify it.

I understand where you are coming from. And yes I do agree. Had to dodge a moose at highway speeds, once with the swaybar and once without. Did not notice the difference. I would never in a million years remove the front. Just from my experiences I have yet to tell the difference. Although I do not run the factory rear leafs, mine are a bit stiffer and 3.5" taller. Maybe that is the difference??
