    As far as the sway bar goes, since you have those 881's id bet you will absolutely love it with it off of there. Especially if you drive offroad alot or just rough roads in general. With the new stiffer coils on there the body roll wont be excessive at all and if you know how to drive it wont be an issue. With it on there it drives like a car in the corners suspension all bound up each side connected to eachother, no body roll at all. Sway bar gone it feels like driving a full size truck.

    What's the difference between the OME 881's & the Eibach 3" coils I have as far as taking the sway bar off? They put it on there for a reason right? I have a 6 year old daughter that rides in my truck and there are so many conflicting reports on should you take it off or not depending on how stiff of coils you have.

    Anything stiffer than stock will help in making your handling better with the sway bar off. Try it out, its not deadly scary unsafe like some make it sound. But if you dont like it put it back on, its like a 5 min job. Eibachs are fairly strong though, id bet youd like it. It frees up the suspension so much and feels tons better on your back.

    With that said if you dont offroad much you wont get to really take advantage of the removal...it does still feel better on rough asphalt though ...
