Anyone out there not running a front sway bar? My truck has some serious rocking side to side when going over speed bumps and what not.

I was told by a very reliable source that it was actually the sway bar causing the back and forth movement..i was considering putting on a rear sway bar to fix it but now i'm considering taking the front off and running without...

Would like to know what the rest of ya'll are doing?

try it first before you take it off. my 4 dr jeep was unhooked and it walked the road with every little bump. i hated how it handled. it was a chore just to drive it on the highway. Good luck.

I want to remove mine also. I read on one of the Dodge forums a member said he removed his and liked the ride. As long as not towing heavy should work. It's easy enough to put back.

Drove a tall narrow 97 cherokee sometimes without the sway bar. Drove the ram a week while I was painting and rebuilding it. Its not bad but it does lean and behave differently. Also legal ramifications are always rumored possible if you should have an accident.

Check out Carli's front sway bar. Put one on my 07 and it is great. No more head banging on the side window off road but still pleanty of articulation. Well worth the bucks.
