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. Allen 83 CJ7 |

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.

Re: Do I need a swaybar?
I got tired of putting my swaybar on and off so now it is just
disconnected and stored in the garage somewhere. I have found the difference when driving on the freeway with vs. without it to be minimal. I have no plans to put it back on. |

It isn't the freeway where you need a sway bar, it's the mountain roads. Taking the sway bar off for highway use is something that should only be done with leaf sprung vehicles, and then it should only be done when the springs are not the stock springs. |

Re: Do I need a swaybar?
If you get in an accident with the anti-sway bar disconnected, you will
be in big trouble! Been there, mine was connected, but the cops and insurance company looked for it!

The insurance company probably knows the specs of the vehicles involved. They will know that Mr. Nelson's TJ and/or Scrambler would have come from the factory with front swaybars.

Re: Do I need a swaybar?
Indeed. Before I upgraded the axles on my YJ it had a Superlift 3.5" susp
with a JKS telescoping front trackbar (no rear) and JKS sway bar disconnects. I hauled it to Colorado for wheeling and had no intention of reconnecting everything every time I hit pavement. To my surprise it actually handled very well and was less prone to swing the rear end out. Once I got it home I removed the bars and they've never seen the light of day since. With the big axles and an RE 4.5" lift it's as stable as can be, except when the Detroit decides to do its occasional jig .... pick your poison.
