Default WJ flex question???

I'm wanting to get more flex outta my WJ so I'm gonna pull the rear sway bar out & make quick disco's for the front!
Just wondering how the WJ rides with the rear SBar out cause my xj feels fine without?!?!

coil springs are a different cup of tea than leafs.
I would not be comfortable removing the rear sway bar on mine.
Fabricate disconnects if you feel it necessary, but even then the TJ crowd recommends keeping the rear bar in tack for stability reasons.

K but I'd still have the front & there are a ton of guys on here that run no front SB!?!? Idk I was kinda thinking discos as its my DD 95% of the time! Has any one tried this on the WJ?

Default stiffer springs

you could remove the SB but the ride will not be the same, specially in turs or curves, you could put on stiffer springs to compensate for the lack of SB, how many inches of lift do you have??

WJ is NOT the same as an XJ. This means what will work on an XJ may kill you in a WJ. It is NEVER a good idea to remove the swaybar in a coil suspension on the street, it is OK for Slow Off-road use.
