Removing sway bar?

what are some of the pros and cons on removing the front sway bar on an 04 prerunner? thinkin of doin it to my own, thanks!

 

Better flex from front as it becomes true independent suspension. Also better flex from the rear

However body roll is more likely in corners

If you don't offroad regularly then just leave it on

 

^^Pros.

Cons: nothing, as long as you don't drive like an idiot on the roads (the truck will lean a little more on corners, but I haven't noticed much of a difference actually). Definitely no real cons to removing it.

 

For a Prerunner, increased single-wheel flex off-road isn't that useful, since the front wheel can't provide traction anyway. Might as well leave the swaybar on.

 

sweet, thanks yall!

 

Oh...didn't see it was a prerunner. Ya if it's not causing any problems (i.e. squeaky/crunchy bushings) then leave it on.

There's driving like an idiot and there is swerving to avoid an idiot . Either way you would probably want an anti sway bar.

The cons are more body role and higher likely hood of flipping your truck .

 

Swerve? Who needs to swerve if their truck is armoured?

But yeah there is a higher likelyhood of flipping the truck. But again, as long as you don't drive like a 16-18 y/o you'll be fine.

 

Tell me about it

 

The south is the soul of this country. We shall rise again!

 

^You sure you don't want to use this flag?

 

Haha oh boy

 

If you're lifted try it you'll like it if not it doesn't take that long to put back on.
Mine's been of for 8K miles & is staying off.

 

Woo! The south will rise again!
Alright thanks for all the help fellas

 

Triple LIKE.

 

^^ quadrupled like

 

What about the quick disconnects? I remember reading about those a while back. I think it requires some custom fabrication though....

 

dammit i couldnt find that flag!!!!!! so i had to make do with the good old usa one. yeehaw

 

I was just thinking about this the other day. I think someone on TTORA used to fab some a long time ago.

I'd really like this for my typical multi-hour high-speed mountain highway driving to destination offroad trails/roads where I would like it off.

Other thoughts, OP: the condition of your coils is a factor here. If you have worn out coils, the handling (roll) could be substantially more dangerous withough the antiswaybar than if you have new coils, or better, stronger aftermarket coils.
