Hey guys just a quick question. I was fixing a leak in my back diff and noticed that I didn't have a rear sway bar. Is this common or should I question it? I know I don't really need one but I'd just like to know.

 

You don't need it of you aren't towing anything. It's just added weight

 

I heard a few models didn't have them installed from the factory. You don't need it since the roll in the back isn't hardly noticeable. The front is the one you want to have and most would argue is best left on for road driving.

I can't remember if it was certain tow packages that didn't have the rears, or if it would only be beneficial to have IF you were towing. Complete opposite concept I know, not sure why I can't remember which one it was lol.

 

i have a book about modding xjs you droop a little in the rear like 1/2 inch but it actually gives you a little more travel in the rear, since it's soo light it wont make a difference.. you can have mine when i take it out if i really want it
lol

 

I don't have one either. Honestly I don't notice it not being back there.

 

I removed mine when I installed my lift kit. I don't miss it.

 

Hey thanks guys, I was gunna take it off anyway but it just seemed weird to me that I didn't find one. Guess I just got lucky

 

ditched mine about a year ago and havnt looked back

 

I believe te up country didn't have one.

Besides its true of you aren't towing or carrying
Heavy, it's fun not to have one. I'm happy I ditched mine and I'm gonna quick disco the front

 

hey just did a 4.5 rough country to my jeep. didnt put the the rear sway bar back in (friends suggestion) a lil worried about not having it. Not sure if i should put it back in or not??? could use some opinions

 

If your front sway bar is at least connected when on road, not having a rear sway bar is not only suggested widely in the off roading community, it is still very safe when on road. Jeeps with coil spring at all 4 corners like TJ's and Grand XJ's usually need the rear sway bar, basically needed when on road. But the leafs on XJ's are ok without one.

 

So whats it going to be like when I tow my riding mower or 4 wheeler.

 

Something that small you wouldn't even feel it.

 

Great thanks

 

I'd be pissed that mine wasn't there. Its something you could have scrapped for beer money.
