I have some rear sway bars on my jeep, and they are a pain in the butt. Whenever I want to go off road, I have to unbolt them considering I have not found any quick disconnects for the rear. I was thinking of taking them off for good, but I do drive this daily and was wondering if my control on the road would be different. With my old CJ, all i had were front connects and it did great. Anyone doing this now, need input.

 

Do a search on here. You'll find many threads on the subject which after reading, convinced me not to pursue disconnecting the rear sway bar.

 

I drove around fine without the rear swaybar. Personally I thought I got better flex with it disconnected but since have reconnected.

 

unlike the front sway bar which is really thick and offers a lot of resistance, the factory rear sway bar is very thin and you can manipulate easily by hand. i can assure you that disconnecting your rear sway bar is not only NOT necessary, i can prove that it WILL NOT prevent you from achieving maximum flex. in other words, disconnecting your rear links will do nothing for you other than to reduce stability on the rocks - this is the reason why companies like currie sell the anti-rock as it allows you to keep your front sway bar CONNECTED and still allow you to flex while retaining stability.

your old CJ had leaf springs and a sway bar wasn't needed. heck, a lot of old CJ's didn't even come with front sway bar.
