Anyone ever take their sway bar off?

Add to that the fact that it reduces your ability to maintain control during evasive maneuvers, thereby having a detrimental effect on safety.... just an all around bad idea. Nothing good to be gained...

If the shoe fits \/\/

All my racing buddys take their sway bar off. The ones that take em off have been lowered or at stock height.

What purpose do your friends say taking off the sway bar serves?

I wish they made some quick release ones for my burb

Make your own!
You only have to disconnect two bolts, and maybe spin it out of the way

Taking the sway bar off for on-street driving is a horrible idea. There is absolutely NO benefit to removing it.

For offroading, i disconnect my rear sway bar. Thus far i've left the front connected to prevent the CV's from over extending... i'm 50/50 on if its worthwhile to disconnect the front sway bar offroading with an IFS vehicle.

They disconnect them all the time on ZR2 S-series trucks for all the rock work.

No issues so far...

Depends on your vehicle, I suppose, but your a-arms maximum travel shouldn't be pulling your axle out...

Ridiculous.

Removing the sway bay increases body roll like a bitch. It feels like you have a flat front tire. I can't imagine doing it to a street vehicle... unless you are some all drag racing hardhead. It would still drive like crap.
