    I'm getting ready to install my new bilsteins/eibachs on my 99 Tacoma. Should a person remove the swaybar and leave it off or leave it on? thanks for any advice.

    On and get a set of quick disconnects for offroading if you want more articulation.

    Mines long gone running eibachs up front. I have to say do it at YOUR OWN RISK because it will increase the risk of a rollover. But for the most part mine drives fine aswell as alot of other taco owners. I daily my truck on the highway almost every day at some points.

    took mine off years ago but my front and back ends are wider stance so that helps with stability...

    While I don't have any experience with the Bilstein/Eibach combo, I pulled my swaybar off not long after I put my SAW coilovers on, just to test it out. Hasn't gone back on yet and that was a nearly 2 years ago. I daily drive both town and highways, along with towing and loading up the bed for work. Does it lean a bit in the corners? Sure, but drive it responsibly (like a truck) and you shouldn't have an issue. Rides a bit better, as well.

    As mentioned above, there is increased risk, but the much firmer suspension helps mitigate some of that. I would NEVER run without a swaybar on stock/old suspension with these trucks; that's an accident waiting to happen.

    I will probably remove it. Running a combo of rough fields as well as highway/city. I am also going to run wheel spacers. Thanks for the advice.
