    So I been looking and did not see a post on this subject. Sorry if I missed it there is a lot post on hear. So my question is how many of you deleted your front sway bars and how are they handling on the streets and freeways? I been wanting to buy a set of pre welded gussets and so far there guests don't except the sway bar no more. And it's kinda nice to have time to swap and return your factory gussets back to them. Thanks.

    I absolutely enjoy it.

    The SB can be easily removed with the wheels on the ground. Just be careful with the SB ends above the CV boots.

    You could try it first. Takes 10 mins to remove just have the tools ready.

    I am not comfortable having it off with kids in the vehicle, or when towing my trailer in case I had to swerve, however there is a manual sway bar disconnect upgrade on the market for when one goes offroad…but that doesn’t really solve the issue with your gussets

    Total chaos makes them if you want to keep the sway bar. I have them,,,I do not have a sway bar. Handles great. I do have 6112s so that may help.

    Thank you all for the advice and sharing your thoughts. I don't want to get rid of the SB I just was not sure on the gussets out there that can still use it. I already have a lift with UCAs and good off set wheels. Just want to add an extra support to the front suspension.
