yea some trail flex! cause no flexin can be done with it attached

buy a pair of quick disco's, look em up on ebay or any other offroad manufacturer site... they're like $40+/-

then all you need to do is pull a pin and the sway bar is disconnected
(you only really need to do this to one side that way it doesn't connect at both ends and the oposite side can control the sway bar freely)

Agreed that way you can still be stable on the road too lol

There's either a 15mm bolt at the top of the end link you can disconnect or there's the 19mm bolt(i think) at the bottom that has a T50 torx bolt on it

Yes, but driving on the road without a sway bar actually isn't that dangerous like some people make it out to be. I've been driving without one since forever and have had no issues.

I'd go the quick disco route if you plan on disconecting it often. One of my stockers snapped off when I tried to remove the nut, luckily I was installing my quick discos at the time so no harm no foul, would have been a pain though had I been out on the trail miles from home and had to find out then that both my links were unusable.

ok i think ill get some quick discos any suggestion?? (under $50ish)

DIY, otherwise you're not going to get anything worth buying for that cheap.

I know, you drive it like an SUV, or a lifted SUV and you'll be fine. I don't have a front sway bar either.....
a lifted Jeep with wider than stock tires is surprisingly stable, I can push 45 around 30mph exit ramps on 3" with 31s and still have room to go faster....given I get a ****TON of body roll but its not close to flipping at that point.

hmm my rough country discos were 40 bucks and they hole up just fine. i took my rear sway bar out completly today. my friend took out his front sway bar and i cant stand riding in it it kinda feels like ur just gunna keep rollin till ur upside down

you must've gotten the Gen 1 discos. I've heard alot of ppl complain about those
