    What spring rate springs do you have? Ive heard that 700 lb springs minimize the body roll somewhat

    Oh, lol! I have the 700s too but haven't removed the sway bar yet. Soon though!

    Kind of makes me nervous if I'm honest but so many have shared they have done it with no issues

    I felt fine with mine removed and 700s, but my truck wasn't as high as @Spansfelder 's truck

    I have 650# springs still. You get use to the body roll but it's definately strange at first. Took mine off for Jambo trip back in May thinking I would put it back on after. Call me crazy, but I like the way it feels without. Just remember not to swerve around things and accept that whatever wildlife jumps in front of you will probably not make it. :hungry:
    It's definately a risk vs. reward decision only yourself can make.

    Edit: personal opinion, If I was driving family/kids around on a regular basis in the truck I probably would leave it on. Just saying. :laughing:

    Pretty sure you get used to it at one point. Just weird when you used to beat your truck around a corner like a race car :D

    Drive it like you stole it :boink:

    Yeah I don't have them on mine and neither does my boyfriend. One of his employees was riding with him the other day and was like "Damn I feel like I could drag a knee in your 4Runner". :rofl:

    Debated taking mine off for one purpose, saving weight.

    In the end, just left it on.

    If you were worried about the weight added by a sway bar, you might want to reconsider those sliders you've got :p
