swaybar end links

eponator · 10-14-2009, 06:24 PM

Simple question... would it hurt anything to run swaybar end links from an 8" lift on a 6" lift? Pros / cons of doing so?

the sway ber links need to bee the correct length for the sway bar's to work correctly !

may handle different on curves, turns and twisties.

Doh!

Sometimes my brain takes a vacation...

Although I've heard of guys running without a swaybar on their lifted trucks and them doing just fine. Does the increased spring rate from the lift springs help alleviate the roll enough to not require sway bars, or would you consider them a necessity for a primarily street driven and lifted rig?

I would consider them necessary for a primarily street driven and lifted rig. No sway bars lets it do exactly that sawy if you want to feel like your on a boat while driving then its good or if you want some articulation for off road use then go with out. If you do not want to feel like your truck is going to tip while making a turn then use a sway bar. Truth it is all up to you and what you want to be use to. Just my thoughts.

Thanks, that answers it all.

With all the highway time this guy sees I'll have to sacrifice the articulation offroad or deal with removing and reinstalling the swaybar each time I enter / leave a trail...

I'll probably just pony up the dough for the correct endlinks, bushings, etc and keep it on... safety is priority

Thought this would fit in good.
