    I've been barless for almost 6 years now. I've had a couple white knuckle moments on the freeways around town, but never felt compelled to put it back on.

    I've heard it isnt that noticeable, only on abrupt/quick turns. The shop where my truck is at the moment recommend to leave it on.

    Yep, maybe I'm an expert driver and maneuvered Bessie past impending doom at 75, but I don't think Bessie would have performed any better with it on. :D

    I'll take a look at those posts tonight. On my way to work I noticed trac off and engine check lights on. Could these be related? Never had these lights on my previous ~1" lift

    Same - the commute, I did toss on some 700lbs coils. Little different valving on the 6112s compared to King, Fox, but No Sway Gang for the W!

    there’s nothing to hear. You take it off and feel the difference.

    if your suspension is not $100 it does a better job at working on its own, than a $100 suspension.
    Low flat cars with sway bars also have cheap basic untuned suspension with sway bars to bandaid poor design.
    See: Audi. Why do they put a front sway bar. Because the cars are nose heavy understeering pigs with the drivetrain a mile in front of the axle line instead of behind it. That on stock suspension don’t ride well.

    certain spindle gussets do not allow use of a sway bar. Made by shops that build trophy trucks who dont run sway bars on their vehicles or ones they work on.

    Drove it to work today since we were getting 4 or 5 inches of snow. The fact that I left early and took all backroads home was merely a coincidence. Unfortunately most of the roads were fairly clear, but I did find a few that hadn't been plowed.

    that looks awesome. Was the radio plug and play without splicing any wires? I had best buy remove a radio I purchased through a month ago cause it was acting up but they left the reverse, speed sensor and brake wires loose. I have no idea where they would be wired to on the new radio I plan on installing.

    Yes, joying sends a harness specific to your truck. Everything is completely plug and play.

    I picked up one of these guys. Very similar and easy to install. Hard wired in to the truck with turn key on and off. Front and rear cams which can be switch or side by side. Just another option :thumbsup:
