    For all those that have installed front coilovers....
    Did you use relocation brackets for the front swaybar?
    Did anyone remove it completely and how did it drive?
    I'm going to be installing my 2.5" Fox coilovers and want to know.
    I'd just remove the swaybar but I tow an RV and I'm unsure of how poorly it could become to tow.

    i tried both, with the SB off it drove funky, felt really floaty. Could possibly remedy with my compression but I just decided to throw it back on.

    Since you're towing I would advise strongly against taking it off. Get some simple relocation brackets and you'll be just fine. I am running ICON relocation brackets at the moment and they dont cause any rubbing. If you post in the "wanting" pay it forward thread, someone might have a relocation kit sitting around and all you have to pay is shipping. Just a suggestion, not saying its going to happen. I just happened to run across someone being kind and got it for I think $10 shipped. If not they aren't too expensive from any company.

    Most coilovers come with relocation brackets. For example kings resi mount is also the sway bar relocation mount

    Didn't even catch that detail. Had to look it up myself and I was like oh I see it now.

    I've got a 2012 Baja. Just did the ecgs bushing, and took out the sway bar while I was at it. Baja has 650lb springs, 1.75 up. Feels a little floaty, little more body roll, but softer over bumps, more articulation. I like it, but to each their own. Agree, if towing, probably leave it on.

    Didn't know the reservoir mounts were also swaybar relocation brackets.... I was getting the non-reservoir coilovers but maybe I need to rethink it.
