Can I Run Disconnected Sway Bar Links?
So I have around 5 inches of lift. In the front I have 3 inch lift coils with a 2 inch spacer. Can I wheel without the front sway bar? I've been skeptical because of the spacers. Thanks in advance!

Sure! That's the whole point of sway bar disconnects.
Some suggest that you always connect your sway bar on the road and some swear that you don't need it at all.
Worse case, you're going to drop a coil spring.
Personally, I don't even have one on my trail rig and I have the stock sway bar with quick disconnect links on my DD.
*5 minutes until huge debate.*

Thanks guys! Would it be easy for me to drop a coil that way? Or would I have to get it pretty flexed out for that to happen?

You're not dropping a coil unless you are on long arms or drop brackets with some very long brake lines and very long shocks without limiting straps.

sure can. I run no sway bars on my rig and drive it to the trail and it's fine on the freeway. I think I only know 1 guy who still runs a front sway bar. it's all a matter of comfort. if you're not comfortable without it, put on disconnects. but I'd learn how to be comfortable with it before I spent a whopping $150 on quickers
