    Instead of waiting to see if I needed it, I just spent the $30 and ordered one with my lift and installed it at the same time. Not even sure if my sway bar would've hit the coils or not.

    Yea...I should have done that, but I forgot about it when I ordered everything.

    I couldn't tell, I had the sway bar relocation kit installed at the same time I put my OME kit on. I removed the sway bar only a month ago and I am just happy this way. My 2 cents...

    After much thought I will too be removing my sway bar once I order some 886s. I have had my 885s for a couple of months and wanted so bad to keep the sway but I have since seen so many without it I don't even think it matters.

    If you swerve at speed it might matter. Just something to keep in mind.

    this is true. one of the reasons I might be getting the stiffer springs.

    I'm running 886s with an ARB bumper and a Superwinch 9.5 with synthetic and no sway bar.

    I've pulled a few emergency evasions since (fucking deer) and haven't noticed any severe loss of control. These are at 65-70mph.

    You have an ARB, you're supposed to finish them not swerve :eek:

    I have the ARB just in case, not hitting them is still the best defense.

    Moneywise maybe but safetywise I don't agree that swerving is a better defense, to each their own :cheers:

    I've got 884s with no sway bar and no issues with swerving. I just notice a little more body roll going around corners.

    On Dakars, which side does "A" go on and which side does "B" go on?
