Not running sway bars decreases the handling capability of your jeep. That's not debatable.

But can you run without them? Yea, I do. But telling someone to not run them is the last thing I would do.

discod sway bars and dropped to 20 psi on my 235's holy **** did it get sloppy on the road- gave it a little flick while going down the dirt road and you could feel all the momentum move, then catch. there was a lot more whip to it.. then aired back up to 35f, and 33r and reconnect sway- what a difference.

the biggest issue for me is that your putting OTHERS at risk from discoing.. i do it myself sometimes, but i still prefer my 15 dollar quick discos than nothin at all. and as stated, sometimes its the law, god forbid you get into an accident and, "oh look, discod sway bars was the cause..." becomes your downfall.. idk.. like the sig says, thems my two pennies!

I can handle my jeep just fine with or without. I grew up racing trucks, bugs and rails. Knowing when to brake/ throttle/downshift is the key to any kind of driving. That being said, I feel other drivers are putting me at risk/ not vice versa. But, I'm just kind of an arrogant @sshole sometimes, and feel , no rather, know that I can drive better than 99% of the people out there.

its an inherent thing to be able to actually maneuver and handle a vehicle. i feel i was graced with these skills, too, but that still doesnt make up for all the physics that work against you. it probably WILL be another driver that messes up causing you, me, us, whoever to react to said **** up, and it will be in that moment that no amount of skill will matter..
