swaybar and leaf spring clip questions

[fsjeep]

disconnecting the swaybar on the cherokee would be good on the trail but would it be bad leaving it disconnected on the street? Should I just wait to disconnect it when I get to trails? I havent wheeled with it disconnected before, will I notice a big difference? I have also heard of pulling the bolts out of the spring clips for more droop, this a good idea :confused: ? Thanks in advance, Dwain

removing sway bar does give you noticable more flex offroad. i have my trac bars and sway bars off, and i DD mine. i do feel the lean but you just gotta remember not to take turns so fast. looks funy when i park on slanted hill, it will lean to one side.

You should have it connected on the street, and disconnected on the trail. As it will only hurt you on the trail. But can make a large differance in street handling.

what about the spring clip bolt idea, you guys ever try this out? Good idea or bad idea?

Right now I am missing one of my spring clips once i get some replacements.. I don't think the flex is worth the wearing... my opinion from what i have read on the subject...

My J10 didn't even come with a sway bar, so it can't be that bad on the street ;) smile.gif
