hahaha I was trying to figure out what the hell you were talking about. As far as your sway bar question goes, you should no issue removing it. I'm sure the PC spring rate is a little stiffer than stock.

lol yea i was kinda switchin back and forth between threads.
removing the sway bar, it should be a softer ride w/o the bar, rite ?

Uh it wont make it softer but it will ride better. You won't get that side to side motion pulling into parking lots near as bad. You will get some more body roll at higher speeds though. It's a little weird on off ramps going 70 but you get used to it.

what about speed bumps....will it make a differnce goin over speed bumps

rynomx785 · 03-09-2010, 03:57 PM

It will be about the same. All the sway bar does is keep the suspension from moving independently. If you hit speed bump with both front tires at the same time it effects both sides the same. Does that make sense? If you were to drive over a speed bump diagonally where it would cause the one front tire to hit before the other then removing the sway bar would help. I hope I didn't confuse you more. lol

You'll be happy you did.

I've had my sway bar off for awhile now and at first it was great, but over time it isn't as great. I've noticed I've gotten way more sway on turns and I don't really like it. I live in a very dense part of town and I have to gun it an take sharp turns a lot and the truck will reallllly lean and I can't stand it. I plan on ordering the prg end links soon, especially being on the street 100% of the time. If I lived on a dirt road or went off-roading quite a bit, I'd leave them off. Definatly worth the time to take em off and see what you think though.

rynomx785 · 03-09-2010, 04:39 PM

I really didn't think that it was that noticeable and that's a good thing because you can't run a sway bar with my MT kit. lol

dazedasp · 03-09-2010, 04:44 PM

lol yeah. I guess maybe it's just in my specific application. I live in a neighborhood off a ridiculously busy street and when I get the chance to make a left turn out of there, I gotta gun it and hook it left and oh man I can get some serious lean. Maybe I just need to top the coilovers off with some nitrogen who knows.

rynomx785 · 03-09-2010, 04:46 PM

What spring rate are you running?

dazedasp · 03-09-2010, 04:57 PM

625lbs. you think it makes a difference?
