    it is just fine. i usually set the dampner to a stiffer setting when the wife drives the FJ. less sway,but a more firm ride.
    I like it w/out the sway bar. Better flex, better ride. I would suggest losing it if you will be running coilovers. I tried it when i had stock shocks+ space rlift...tons of sway :p

    I have tons of sway now. I wonder if it is just the alignment

    I doubt Jd's sway is as bad as he says. I ran a similar setup for a year and had no sway problems while retaining the factory sway bar. I also had a great allignment right after the install though?:confused:
    I am thinking stillfly just needs to have his fj alligned.

    *keep the factory sway bar on if you're that worried about sway Fred :thumbsup:
    you're planning on running CO's...so you should be just fine either way

    2007 FJ Cruiser 3" OME
    bought an FJ today for a gift to myself. Picking it up on Saturday when I transfer to Florida. 2007 4x4 6 speed manual with 55k. Paid 21.5k. All stock. Might be a bit high but it had all the options I wanted so I went for it. Plan on getting a lift kit. Do you guys recommend the OME for DD and some minor wheeling?
