Has anyone removed their sway bars or added after market ones to help smooth out the ride? Is it worth the trouble or expense for after market?

It will introduce body roll while cornering, but it will free up the suspension to move independent of each other.

I removed my sway bar when I built my lift, I think it rides better. It feels smoother to me over rocks and ruts. And I haven't noticed any difference in body roll.

Is there front and rear sway bars? Did you remove both (if there is two)?

Are you going to leave it off?

 

[Ben]

There is only one and I have no intention to put it back on. I think it rides to good with it off. It allows the suspension to articulate better giving such a better ride.

You still running without sway bar and any issues without it

So I tried the removing of the sway bar but with aftermarket shocks and lift it was a little "too soft" in the corners at speed so I put it back on. When I did, I noticed the angle of the sway bar and realized it was limiting the amount of downward travel as it was almost in a bind at rest. A sway bar should be in the horizontal position (or pretty close to it) when the bike is at rest. This allows optimum suspension travel in either direction without binding. If you look at the position in the first pic, you can see there isn’t going to be much downward travel before it binds or is limiting the suspension travel. So we made this link to get the bar back up closer to where it belongs. We will be working on a quick release for this and maybe everyone can have the best of both worlds.
