    hello fellow 5 lugger crew,

    Im having an issue with tire clearance (265x75x16) and need some guidance. Everytime I make a turn a hear a loud clicking sound which I believe is hitting the sway bar. I make sure the black box was removed and with the excess plastic so it cannot be that. So my question is should I remove the sway bar? and if so how would it effect the balance or the truck? or just ignore the issue.

    I removed mine and love it. A little more body lean but no more rocking when you go over a bump. Do you have upgraded shocks?

    Do you have aftermarket shocks?Do you have sway bar relocation kit?
    Sway bar obviously affects your trucks body roll and sway when turning. Many people run without it. Many feel safer with it. It's up to you and how you drive

    If have two sets, one new one used. $15 and $10 plus shipping respectively if you want.
    Good luck either way.

    Take that shit off. Especially with mid-travel, you'll truly feel the front suspensions working independently instead of being linked together by the sway bar. Body roll won't even be much of a problem since you're running such a heavy duty coilover.

    You have time. Takes 15mins max to remove it. It's only connected by 2 brackets and 2 rods I think.
