Do I need a swaybar?
I'm getting a new suspension (2.5 skyjacker) with 33x13.5 tires on 10in
wheels (in the shop as we speak). Does the wider stance of the tires/wheels
take away some of the effect of the sway bar by adding a bit more stability
or is removing the swaybar going to create havoc on the highway with this
set up? My bushings are shot, I'm broke, and I'm thinking of just removing
it all together.

Re: Do I need a swaybar?
I've got a '92-ish YJ that occasionally doesn't have the swaybar hooked up.
You'll definitely notice more body roll, but if you drive it like a Jeep and
not a sports car you shouldn't have any problems.

Re: Do I need a swaybar?
Removing it is big time against the law Allen.
It is considered a 'major' safety feature for driving on the road and if
you get into any kind of fender bender or accident with no anti-sway
bar, the cops will find you at fault in the accident if they are called
in to investigate.
I got in a fender bender and both the cops and my insurance company
inspected the Jeep and told me they were looking specifically for safety
features all working and matching tires. They did mention the anti-sway
bar specifically.
They figure without such a bar, maybe I couldn't have avoided the other
party, but seeing as my Jeep was in A1 shape, the other party was found
at fault, not me.
