Default swaybar problem

I have a 95 cherokee w/ 6.5' lift and my swaybar is pretty much on my springs. How do i fix this problem? or can i just do away w/ it and not worry about a swaybar at all?

What do you mean on the springs? Is this an Offroad only jeep? You will hear alot of bad about disconnecting the swaybar if your on the road.

Just get some quick discos. Rustys has them pretty cheap but might not be the best quality.

I personally have no swaybar. Know how to drive and your fine. Everyone has a preference. IMO delete it and drive carefully until your used to it. I have some gen 2 discos for a 4.5" lift for sale if it might help.

i ran without one for awhile, the only reason why i put it back on is cause my jeep leans to the passenger side and it bothers me lol, but i modded the rustys links (cause they suck) and they work alot better now

^ Do what...? The links have to just be too short. OP post a picture.

As for running without at least the front sway bar on the road, that's suicide. I'm sure you think you've got it under control but lets see how you fare when you have to dodge a kid in the road or something; good luck.... You never know when you might have to make an evasive maneuver. I didn't notice removing the rear but f**kin-a my XJ is skeeeetchy without the front connected.
