haha, i am researching what people have been doing for quick disconnects for swaybars, read this on an exploder forum, is this safe?

You can easily make some quick disconnects and keep using your stock links. Just get a pair of bolts that are same diameter but about one inch longer (same grade), two flat and two lock washers, two wing nuts, two wire clips (I do not know the name of them). Take off the stock hardware and place the new bolt, washers and wing nut
instead of it, then make a little mark just over the wing nut. Remove the bolt, drill a
hole on it were you made the mark and reinstall it. The only thing you need to keep it from loosening is the wire clip, while the spring washers will prevent rattling. So, when you go off-road, you remove the clips, wing nuts, washers, and bolts (takes only three minutes with your bare hands) and hold the antisway bar up with a bungee cord. I made mine that way about a year ago and they work grate! For the rear bar you only need to replace the stock nut with a flat washer, lock washer and wing nut, but you need to check them frecuently, or you can mount a lock washer and a second wing nut over the first one (if you have room) to keep them locked.
Take care.

first off, my b2 is a street legal (really should not be) wheeling rig. i do things with ONLY wheeling capabilities in mind and dont care about how it drives (even when its not safe). with that being said, when i pulled the stock sway bars off my b2 when it was stock i did not feel a note worthy difference on the road.
quick disconnects are much less of a problem for stock trucks that have them removed, the people that should have them on the road are the ones that are heavily modified.

well i'll have 33s and a 2inch shackle + a torsion bar crank soon enough, but that still ain't "heavily modified", so i should be fine taking them off altogether or should I rig up a quick disconnect of some sort?
Also, should I do it for both the rear and front?

When you crank your t-bars you won't notice the lack of sway bars.

If you're gonna run extended shackles you might want to do quick discos for the rear. But I wouldn't.

This shot is after I got my rear suspension done, and hadn't cut out my IFS. Those are 33s with a 3" body lift and a t bar crank stuffed.

A sas is fun though:

with the torsion bars cranked i would talk to one of the guys that DDs (or has) and wheels his regarding it. the rear should not be to big of a deal. you have a long enough wheel base the rear can be removed most likely without a problem

looks like adam got his 2cents in.....
