Rear sway bar disconnects.
Why don't I ever hear about rear sway bar disconnects? My thoughts are it would help tremendously with articulation, just as the fronts do.
So, whats the beyond obvious reasoning for not having them? Because I surely cant think of one.

The rear swaybar doesn't restrict as much as the front does. I guess most people just don't fool with it because of the little advantage. Maybe someone else can chime in if there is more to it???

The rear sway bar does not limit flex, therefore there is no reason to disconnect it. It is small enough that it flexes as you articulate the rear suspension. You would only lose stability by disconnecting it.

Thanks for the thoughts fellas.
So it flexes enough to not hurt articulation, yet is still rigid enough to help with stability. Why not have something like that in the front? I suppose the pro's do.
