    Remove it, the roll isn't bad at all. Just don't drive it like you stole it around every corner and you're fine. Handles much much better off road. Giant improvement.

    Based on research, not experience, it can be dangerous if you are doing highway speeds and you have to do evasive maneuvers. For example, if you have to swerve away from something you could possible flip your truck. The sway bar stabilizes ur truck from roll/tilt while turning. The advantage is, if offers a lot more flex while off roading.

    I painted my fender emblems green and put them back on. The paint is starting to fade from the sun so I'm thinking bout taking them off for good. I debadged my tailgate and like the look of it a lot. Debadging to me makes it look a lot cleaner.

    Whenever you have stiffer springs from lifting your truck, the affects of pulling the sway bar become less. Honestly, most of you will never see an issue from pulling the sway bar off. It makes a world of difference off road because it allows each side to cycle independently.

    I've also been thinking about removing my sway bar. I feel like having spindles and wheel spacers corrects the COG enough to where the sway bar loses functionality in addition to considering the stiffer springs. The only two things that have been stopping me are daily driver use and the idea that in the event of an accident, insurance might not cover damages due to removal of a safety component.

    You think they'll actually notice it's missing?

    I daily drive mine too, 60 miles daily. So that's why I'm a bit worried also.

    Take it from me that insurance does not give a single shit. Also, the sway bar isn't necessarily meant for safety as it is for comfort.

    I had limo tint on every window and 35% on the entire windshield. And a giant fucking sticker that took up a 1/3 of it lol. Insurance still paid me no questions asked. I didn't have a swaybar either haha.
