So i have been driving my xj for 6 years daily now. it has a 3in lift and NO front sway bar, never had any prob with it and i like the way it drives... However, i am focusing on my rear articulation and want to remove the rear. I have never driven the thing without any sway bars. does anyone on here run no swaybars? how does it handle on the road?

I have read threads on here about removing the rear swaybar and it not making a difference, but that was always with the front (main one) on.

 

I don't think you will notice any difference when you remove the rear.

 

i haven’t had sway bars for years. removing the rear bar doesn’t do anything for driving. the front is the one doing everything. it won’t be any different sans the rear.

 

Remove the rear, but get QDs for the front and reinstall it. It’s a matter of safety in emergency situations.

 

Thanks man, exactly what i needed to hear. will be taking it out tomorrow when i drop the axle for my bump stop plates and lift shackles.
