has anyone taken there sway bar out

[dunedigger]

I put that offroad design kit on my dune truck.  I don't intend on disconnecting my sway bar but I liked what I was reading about eliminating binding issues when alternating the stock lift.  I have sway bar drop mounts but it still made sence to me that if the spring can travel farther back than stock it will fight itself with the sway bar trying to keep it forward, this kit lets it swivel and I really like mine.

I got rid of my swaybar while installing my 4" lift and i don't find it that bad at all. I also have the sway bar taken off of my 98 K1500 too so i"m a little used to it. Overall though it doesn't roll as bad as i thought it would considering i have a 6.2L, TC EZ ride front springs and no sway bar lol.

i did a 4" lift about a month ago.
use some 1/2 ton rear spring new front hangers and rear shackles and a cross over kit.

steering was supper sloppy, lathargice and  and generally un-responsive to inputs

found out that the longer leaf spring 52" vs 48 were flexing side to side. all tie rod end and spring bushing are brand new. with the steering i could "flex" the spring enough to move the frame 1/2" to the left or right in relation to the axle.. created all sorts of steering/tracking issues

so i built a engine cross member and track bar that went from the DS frame to the PS axle between the PS side spring mount and spindle.

it also could be bias ply tires they usually will flex before you get any responce in steering
