    If I shake that sway bar, what's it do for me? I've read all kinds of varying opinions on here.

    It will flex better up front and I believe it rides better on the road too. With stiffer springs up front removing the sway bar is a must in my opinion.

    Will removing it do anything for height in the front end. Increase some space between fender and tire at all. Wasn't sure if that sway bar torqued down on the front end at all.

    Yeah they sell a 4" kit & 6.5" kit or just spindles with brake lines. If I'm not mistaken the 6.5" kit comes with a 2.5" spacer.
    I got 6.25", spindles 4", billies 1.75" & Toytec .25" spacers actually lift .5". I'm gonna adjust my billies to 2.5 soon & I'll be at 7"

    No it does not change ride height. I see where you are coming from though.

    well it's not that hard lol, just measure how big the hole for your hub is and divide by 2 and there's your number from the center of the wheel hub to the top of the hole, then just measure the rest up to the fender lol

    Measure the rim & divide it in half, hold that number on the to edge of the rim & measure to the fender.

    I just hooked the tape on the bottom of the rim and then took that number and subtracted the radius of the wheel. Which is what Spruce did basically.
