I was the one that said it was unsafe (see post 8). I completely agree with you Kopecki. I just said that because i didn't want to argue with Styrker on the issue.

I've previously ran without sway bars for years, it's going to depend on your rig.........I'm now at 7" of lift running a 3 link long arm, 35's..... I am again in the market for atleast a front sway bar again due to the body roll on the street. It really depends on how your rides set up.

Speak your mind. If an arguement ensues that you would rather not participate in... walk away. Our country has its' freedom simple because people spoke their mind. If they did not we wouldn't be what we are today.


I may only be 18, but I am absolutely terrified to see what my generation will turn this country into. If parents knew how to teach their children respect, honor, pride, and integrity, this country would be such a better place to live in. My parents raised me very well; it makes me sick to see what some of my peers have become and continue to become.

Thankyou very much, but I've been offered a set by Hellwig Motorsports as soon as they're available. I mentioned it before, they're introducing a new design for long arm owners. I'll be offering back some feedback & such.

But thankyou for the offer!

so question. I drive my jeep a lot on the street and a lot on the interstate, as its my DD. So what about the opposite? is there any heavy duty sway bars that are available? I was also thinking zj, but I guess thats been proven wrong. but with the occurrences of death wobble, and my new addition of offroad/mud tires, opposed to the street tires, I have slowed way down, and normally avoid the interstate just to be a little safer.

You may notice a slight difference in sway at high speeds on the highway but that is only initially you get used to it fast.

Hell I don't run a Front sway bar anymore either. I don't mind the slight rock when cornering. But my jeep doesn't go fast either.
No sway bars in my XJ either.

While the new Hellwig set up is going to be marketed to long arm users, it appears to be a stock type of set up, but......it has 3 different upper pin locations to allow a firmness setting, something you may want to consider in the future possibly........check out their website as this is the reverse of what they've been doing for the last 60 years......typically 'performance' vs. flex........

alright ill check em out, I plan on going long arm anyway, so If I could buy it now, and then keep it with the long arm setup then that would make buying it even easier.
