Took the front bumpers and end caps off, got the bumpers sand blasted and just sanded the end caps. My jeep was towed behind an rv from the pervious owner so the bumper was extremely rock chipped and then the chips rusted, I'm using rustoleum universal satin white to paint to bumpers and end caps! Should look good!

@ OP, there's a lot of discussion on here, I'd advise you to read through it and make your own decision... but, as far as I know, if you remove it and then cause an accident... it's just another thing that the insurance company could use against you.
Just google "site:cherokeeforum.com rear sway bar removal" or something like that.

Agreed. Rear up on it and make a decision.
You can take it off, see how you like it, then out it back on if you don't like the feeling.
I don't run either.

Got the loft all done today, hopefully get to paint the bumpers this week. Since I'm only 15 and don't have a real job, I'm praying for a lot of snow this year so I can't shovel it all for money for wheels and tires! Planning on running 32s

Tried to flex lol, the rear wheel came off the ground so I just kinda gave up on going any further, i was freezing my ***** off! It's like 10 degrees
Sweet build man. Glad you got in the Jeep Family. I bought my first Cherokee last year when I was 16. But I'm on my second XJ now. once your in a jeep, you'll never turn back. Be persistent and find a job, I wanna see this thing on 32's lol
