Ok so I have a 98 jeep Cherokee with a factory rear sway bar and 3 inches of lift. I already have an idea in my head for the front. I was thinking about just taking the rear one off because from what most people say it doesn't do anything anyway. So I ran it past my dad and he said try looking into quick disconnects. No one makes them for the rear and I don't see a very good way to fab one up in the rear like I will in the front. Do any of you guys know a good way to rig something up in the rear?

 

Lol just take it off one day when he isn't home and get rid of it! He'll never know haha

 

Tell him that some Cherokees didn't even come with them.

 

Hahah I know I have tried telling him that. I should just take it off at work or wait until I go back to college next week.

 

Yeah just do it. It seriously doesn't do anything but keep you from flexing in the back

 

Or accidentally break a bolt when working under it on something.

 

You lifted it right? The reason the sway bar is there cuz the stock leafs are weak,keeps the body roll to a minimum.Stiffer springs no longer a need for the sway bar. So take it off.

 

there is truth to this statement,only if you have the up-counrty off road package though

 

If he ever does notice it's gone I will just tell him It broke at Raush Creek one weekend during school so I just took it off. It's such a small diameter anyway it can't do anything.

 

I say do it as well. My back is taken off and my front has a quick disconnect.

 

If you take it off you can use the mount brackets as bar pin eliminators

 

Looks like I will be doing that today also

 

Trash it. I took mine off last week due to the fact that it made so much noise it sounded like I was dragging a can of marbles under the car. Sadly I replaced the bushings and end links a month ago thinking that would eliminate rattles but it turns out I should have saved the time and $$ and just tossed it from the get go. I don't even notice a difference in the ride.

 

both mine have been off for several months now. no major difference in handling.

 

ok, dumb question. I put a 3.5 inch basterd pack on, im concerned about the weight. how will it effect the rear end without the sway bar? I actually am a blacksmith and a scout leader, so I frequently tow either a camping trailer full or a heavy demonstration trailer. I'm concerned about the extra weight causing instability on the highway while towing.
