Towing without SwayBars?
I've been wanting to remove the SwayBars since I 1st took the rig off road & wonder will I regret it while Towing?
I dont tow with the rig very often & I am a Professional truck driver for a living, Teamsters Local 399.
So I do know how to handle a vehicle being its what I do for a living.
But thought I'd ask the opinions from you that have completely removed your swaybars & towed with it that way...
I have never towed with a sway bar

you shouldnt have problems i took my sway bar off and i tow with out it you have leaf springs you should be fine
You should be fine towing without sway bars. It's the corners you may have to slow down a little more for.

Well that was my point towing through the corners ( Mountains ) Obviously they do nothing while drive straight down the road.
i dont have problems with corners and no sway bars
Thanks guys, I think I'll remove them tomorrow & throwing them in the dumpster.
Thats what I did with my Bronco & never regreted it.

o5 crf 450 mostly stk and a 96 banshee not even stk but blown up now lol
I finally took them off tonight & decided to save them, Just in case..
I wont be towing anything for a while that I can think of.
But I'll let you know, if I want them back on.
so i can take the sway bar off my early 99 and still tow?
As far as my opinion goes..... I dont know.
I've not towed without them yet..
But I dont notice any difference in street/fwy driving.
