    Do not leave your rear sway off without limit straps. you will break your fox's very quickly. the only limiting factor for droop without the sway bar is your shocks. this puts tremendous strain on them. Mainly on the stem, which is the weak point here and it will break off. I highly suggest you reinstall it immediately until you can get limit straps installed.

    Rear sway bar never left the FJ. Was talking about the front sway bar. the handling stiffened up a bit after installing the AP springs and adjusting the dampners F+R.
    but thanks for the info :thumbsup:

    Ahhhh ok... yeah I'm swaybarless in the front as well. I plan to put limiting straps at all corners in the future.
