You'll be fine... My shocks are getting softer so there is more body roll but once you learn how it drives it will be fine.

i drive no sway bars at 75 mph aggressively all the time only had one two wheel incident where i was doing about 55 and the car in front of me was doing about 40 and was trying to beat the bus next to us so i started to move over and i was looking in my mirror and the car in front of me hit the brakes i jerked it and went 2 wheels driver back to passenger then back to drive ended up stoping about 3 feet from one of those big a$s light poles and just drove away it was scary as hell but i will never run another sway bar i love it scares the $hit out of my passengers lol

Heres my opinion on sway bars. If you drive your jeep everyday, you need them. They're like a roll cage. People say they dont need a roll cage.. until flopped on their top. Its something you dont miss until you need it.

If you drive with no sway bars your Jeep will spontaneously burst into flames.

Now, can we please get back to giving the hairy man a hard time because his short arms can out flecks 4 linked buggy?

I havent had sway bars on my daily for 1.5years. If you drove it you would of never know. then again the IRO heavy rate coils do wonders. now my WJ is another story. that thing is sketch with front disconnected, I wish I had a rear to put back on it
