    You dont have to take the whole sway bar off. All you have to do is disconnect the sway bar links from the spindle.

    The bar doesn't impede suspension travel at all?? I only took mine off so I wasn't really looking at it...but it seemed that those loose ends could get in the way of some stuff under there if they aren't linked to the suspension....??

    I would not mind getting out of the cab and disconnecting something, rather than paying hundreds of dollars for an in-the-cab solution.

    Offer me a $50 option which I can get out of my truck, quickly disconnect something (without tools) and I will buy it.

    Yeah theres no way IMO to do 'quick disconnects'... theres no place for the swaybar to go, it has to be completely removed.

    I have a sway bar question. If your driving on a hard surface and you have to abruptly steer one way or the other, say to miss a deer that just jumped out it front of you, doesn't the sway bar help the vehicle to stay in control?

    I have removed my sway bar and don't really feel any difference now that I have C/O.

    in our club we all remove them, I have a few laying around hehe. It limits travel way too much off road
