    It would work good on a solid axle, but doubt would help with IFS.

    Good for an experiment but you'll definitely want to zip-tie the disconnected end link back to the swaybar or it will get f'ed up.

    It works the same, IFS of solid axle. All the sway bar does is limit the opposite direction travel of each wheel.

    ---

    Removing the sway bar mounts from my truck is easy, takes like 5 minutes with the stock parts. The thing I've never really worked out it what to do with the sway bar once I've disconnected the two sides. I'm not going to remove the WHOLE thing, but I don't really want to just use a bungie to hold it up out of the way...

    IMO, taking the sway bar completely off is completely dumb if this is your daily driver. I've never had to use my airbag or my ABS, but I'm not about to disconnect a piece of safety equipment just because I haven't used it (yet).

    depending on what side you're testing... If you disconnect the left side, don't stuff the left wheel, and let the right side droop. You'd want to make sure the sway bar would move away from the control arm/spindle you disconnected.

    But yes, DEFINITELY only for a quick experiment, I wouldn't drive it like that.

    I had a set of these from Lars Dennert, very nice to have for sure, but I wish I could have them for my 2015 taco...

    Anyone out there have any info on a set of these for a 2gen dclb? Installed bilstein 5100's on my 2010 dclb and was planning on ditching the sway bar, but my guru suggested getting a set of quick diconnects as this is my daily driver. Ran into original equipment issues (stripped allen heads) and eneded up sawing them off. Can't seem to find them anywhere. TIA
