Stabilizer bar...necessary?

[bmerr98]

Looking at building a front skid plate like one I saw in the Fab section. Dude painted a longhorn logo on it. His user name is camodown and the post was from 8-26-2007.

Anyway, it looks like his bolted to the frame just in front of the A arms and used the holes where the stabilizer bar bolts in on my 1998. I swear I can see the front end of torsion bars in his pics, but no stabilizer bar.

So I'm thinking he may have done away with his stabilizer bar. Question is, is that wise? What circumstances would it be beneficial to have it gone? I'm kind of working around the problem at the moment, but any technical expertise, horse sense, or advice based on experience related to redneck engineering would be welcome.

For the time being my truck is serving as a DD, with some off road fun planned off in the future somewhere...

you will end up with body roll with no sway bar the + of getting rid of it is you get more flex for a daily drive i would recommend keeping it but it all depends how you drive i have a heavy foot so body roll is problem for me
