Took Off My Sway Bar

[MastuhWaffles]

So today I got around to finally taking off my sway bar, I'm getting a tube bumper that has mounts where the 4 bolts are. And I have to say the ride is so much better! Body roll is very minimal, unless you swerve it like crazy there's almost none at all. And somehow I ended up cutting myself 7 times, there's a lot of sharp things under my truck, lol.
Bye Bye sway bar! I taped the bolts in a bag to it.

Then I thought that putting them back in their places would be a better idea.

Just a quick thing I might add. I noticed in the wheel arches on my truck the passenger side has a cover, to cover the suspension components, and the driver side doesn't, is this just how it is, or did one of them fall off?

yea it had one, you can see the holes where the push bolts went plus my uncles ranger has them on both sides

D: Well, Ford Parts here I come. Any idea what it might be under? Or should I just take off the other side.. In the meantime, I might as well wash it where the covers missing.

I have to say this is probably one of the easiest mods you can do.

You'd be looking for something like this.

I bought these for my Explorer but they weren't an exact fit. They needed to be trimmed up some but once installed were fine. You probably don't have to spend that much but the factory guards aren't as durable of a material.

Well I'm putting it back on lol. I went down the highway and holy jesus was that scary. Besides I need to put it back on for my trip to Colorado.

I think I would only take it off for wheeling and stuff...but haven't yet so maybe not even then hmm

Its great for off roading and just driving around. But when you get on the highway it rolls a lot.

Saw that coming.

ditto, it might be ok for a TTB, but i wouldnt do it on an ifs. i'm not running any on my lifted b2, but it's not a hwy truck

I have full sway bars on my BII and have not gotten to reinstalling them on my truck since the axle swaps last summer. My Ranger is the highway vehicle.

 

[MastuhWaffles]

Yeah, well fun learning experience at least. Lol

There is a reason engineers put things like that in your suspension. You just found out why.

Lol yep, well I think I might get some quick disconnects, because it seem's like it helps off roading.

I don't run sway bars on my mercury and it is a ride to say the least. If an IFS without sway bars is worst than a TTB, I would have crapped my pants.
