    The truck is handling really good. I haven't even noticed the difference yet but I haven't taken it on the highway yet. I think that because I've got pretty new springs up front (OME 884's with 700 miles on them so far) that helps.

    Feel free to issues words of warning about driving without a sway bar cause I can't find much that talks about what to watch out for. I imagine "Don't change lanes quickly" or "Take turns slower" or "Your front spring are gonna wear out faster" ....I don't know what I don't know and I can't find much that talks about it either.

    Loving it!

    The swaybar binds up the suspension to prevent too much body roll. nothing too complicated about it.

    just go in a "safe" area and swerve around to get a feel for it. it is not as dramatic as some people make it seem. you are not in a Lincoln TownCar. now, that suspension is ought right dangerous. LMFAO

    the 2nd gen is wider than the 1st gen for a reason. and people manage to wreck vehicles that have very modern safety features anyway.

    your ome 884's are likely much stiffer than the factory coilovers. right?

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    I was getting noticeable body roll before I swapped out the clapped out stock rear leafs. New leafs really took a lot of the roll away. Front shocks/springs couldn't do it all. Now, the roll may be a little greater than with the sway bar, but not much.
