Default Disconectable front sway bar

Well i removed my rear sway bar and have a disconnectable setup in the front. Since i had the bolts out i got new grade 8 ones and some max energy urithane bushings.


No sway in rear




Pics with the front disconnected and rear gone.



In this pic i had the sway bar tied up up the it came down in the snowbank.

It looks like you need to get an alignment done real soon man!

Great mod for offroading, for sure. Just keep in mind, though, that should you get in an accident and the investigator discovers that you have no sway bars connected that it may cost you. Best to keep them connected until you get off the pavement.

The pic of the passenger front sway bar was taken at an angle, im not stupid enough to run around with that bad of camber. I experimented with no front and rear but HOLY BODY ROLL BATMAN. You turn and the body shifts over. So now the front is connected and I can barely notice that the rear is gone. When i want serious flex just unbolt the front sway bar an wala.

Yeah, one of my friends wanted to disconnect his front sway bar but I eventually convinced him not to. He has a 20xx Blazer with a 3in body lift and 2in lift shackles in the rear with 31s. He damn near rolls the thing as is the way his dumb *** drives, let alone without a sway bar. Now that you mention it, the picture looks about right to me when I tilt the screen so the tire is vertical. I remember back in the day when my cv shafts were that straight. =]
