    Opinions vary. I recommend trying it with and without and see which you prefer. It really depends on how much off road vs on road etc you do.

    Do you have a relocation bracket for it? If not, then you’ll most likely be removing the sway bar today.

    I don’t. Can I install just keeping the sway in as stock? I’m installing 6112s and JBA UCAs.

    unless your offroading all the time, get the re-locator kit and leave it on

    Only one way to find out. ;)

    This is not a show stopper for your lift. If it doesn’t work without the relocator and you want to keep using it, just remove the sway bar and get a kit and reinstall it later. It’s not a major job.

    Yeah installer is saying we’ll know once put on. Said it might rub the CV. What do most do on here? It’s a DD and only mild off road so kinda want to keep it

    Don’t think you can do that on these trucks. It’ll tear up the cv boots iirc

    Lots do. It’s really just a small spacer that moves the sway bar forward about 1/4 of an inch.

    Try @HeadStrong Off-Road

    You can't leave it hanging like a Jeep but if you have an aftermarket skid plate instead of the factory splash guard masquerading as a skid plate you can slide the sway bar right out after removing the two end links and 4 bolts for the brackets. Carry a battery powered impact and it becomes a 1 minute job.

    More important would be what springs are you running with the lift as far as if you want to remove the sway bar.

    I was thinking you could rotate it up and out of the way and tie it off, but I just looked and it doesn't look like it would clear everything to do that.
