    "Working fine for me" is your choice. Don't go telling people you don't need it, when its a vital part that directly affects the handling of the vehicle.

    Mine is definitely staying on. I remember a customer a while back that wanted an aftermarket bumper on his ranger but the only way it would fit was if I took the sway bar off. He wanted me to go ahead and take off his sway bar. I test drove it afterwards and I can tell you I was almost idling around corners because there was so much roll.

    Have had mine off on my '11 Tundra since the lift was put on, never have been concerned about driving on paved roads...My buddy has a Taco with his off, same comment. I'm not endorsing it for everyone, but it isn't a big deal for daily driving or evasive swerving. Anywho this is my second post, I'm thinking about switching to a Taco and wanted to get on a forum to snoop around. :D

    Obviously you have never had to really to do an evasive maneuver at speed.

    If you had you'd be pulling seat foam out of your crack or glass out of your face from rolling.

    Actually have, truck did not roll....didn't feel like it was going to roll either. Driving on the interstates in Denver isn't some backwoods country road where everyone obeys the rules of the road.

    How does it effect the on road handling? When the truck is loaded or not?
    My sway bar rubs the spring on the passenger side & I'm thinking about removing it.
    To remove it you just need to remove the bushing mounts and the link on the ends? Will it slid out from under the skid plate or does it need to be dropped also?

    I lifted my 14 with an OME Kit recently. Minus sway bar handled like a bowl of soup. Bought the relocation kit. No brainier since it's my daily driver and tow vehicle. If it was just a weekend wheeler I'd leave it off for flex. Just depends on individual preference and driving style.

    When the sway bar gets relocated I'm sure it changes the angles of the stabilizer links. Did anybody change those out to adjustable ones? Are the adjustable ones needed? Anybody hears any noises?
