Yeah bump sway bars that's just extra weight the only type of sway I would do if ur determine to have one is a Antirock in the rear

Wow, better get your hands on a 3/4 drive ratchet haha

Why in the rear, with leafs it's not gonna matter in the rear, if you really want a sway it needs to be in the front
But I don't and wouldn't run sways. IMO

A sway bar in the back is only really beneficial if towing so I have found out. What other plans are you going for with the rig? 3" and 35s work good if built right. Just throwing a lift and big tires will help but if you really want to use all the benefits of LCOG, theres more to it than just cutting.

3/4 holy crap! I think a half inch breaker bar would suffice.

I hear people saying this but I haul around a two stall horse trailer, with horses (DUH), no problem and I've never had a rear sway bar on. Tail end doesn't even droop when fully loaded.

It isnt about sagging..its about swaying, hence the name swaybar. I towed with my ZJ before with no sway bar and it was sketchy so I put it back in. I have no reason to take it out of my truck but I am just speaking from experience.

towing with a zj is a bit different than towing with a xj. i have towed two axle car trailers with cars on them and had no sway issues before but it all depends on driver rear spring rates and such.

aircruiser

Ofcourse it isn't the same, I wasnt comparing it to an XJ, just saying how it can affect a vehicle when towing. There are many factors to consider but the bottom line is when I am towing my jeep on a car trailer, I want it to be as safe as possible for myself and others. I had a friend roll his truck and trailer swerving to avoid a *******. I do not want to do the same.

Harbor freight has a 3/8" and 1/2" ratcheting breaker bar. Its my favorite tool from there, I broke it once after lots of abuse and they swapped it out with no questions.

Well putting in the lift is proving to be more difficult than I thought, the front is done but the back shock bolts that go into the unibody were rusted and rounded out so I'm grinding them down and drilling them out and prolly tapping new thread. Meanwhile I have no time in between school and work and I have no vehicle. :/
