Sway bar removal or quick disconnect.

Looking for some advice. I am new to the off-road world and have been slowly upgrading my 2016 TRD sport. I currently have it lifted on 33's and have been doing a ton of camping and trail ridding. I have seen quick disconnect's and even full removal of sway bars on other vehicles and I am looking for input on if this is something I should do to my truck and what my options are. This is still my daily vehicle so I'm looking to see some pros and cons. Thanks for the help in advance.

 

I removed mine and buried it in my neighbors backyard. I haven’t seen it in years. But that’s just me. You do you.

 

I also removed mine and never looked back.
Pros: comfortable off road and better tire movement
Cons: Body roll on road

The cons can be alleviated with a better suspension setup which most upgrades to anyway. Just remove them, drive around for a month, and see if you will even care for it being off at the end.

 

Speaking facts.

simp crew will be in here soon talking about body roll. No fucks for cucks brah

 

If you offroad once a month or more I would remove sway bar for sure.

I hate body roll on ramps and I use freeway ramps often.

 

This sounds like what it feels like

I would look at fabbing up a quick disconnect or maybe adapting one from another application. Swaybars are really great for on road performance, safety, and fun factor.

Removing them all together is just lazy.

 

I put a thicker Hellwig swaybar on my OR. Because I don't like body roll. I hope that makes me a simp. It'll add to my Tacoma World Nervous Nancy and Snowflake nicknames.

If you have the right tools, it'd probably take 30 minutes to remove then another 30 to reinstall. You can have it both ways.

 

Lulz

 

Take that shit off and don’t look back.

Mine is long gone, and there is no more body roll than before. Actually drives better IMO. I drive my truck like a race car and it hasn’t rolled over yet. YMMV.

 

I’ve also have the Hellwig front and also the rear bar. The rear bar really wakes up the truck in the corners. Like a new truck. If I rock crawled, I would fab up some swaybar disconnects or remove as you suggest.

 

Sounds like you should have bought a 4 door sports sedan instead of a truck.

 

Right? The way some of these guys talk...

 

I guess my inner ear is too sensitive or something. I could feel the change from stock to Hellwig swaybar, let alone the difference with no swaybar. That's on stock heigh with 6112/5100 shocks.

 

according to some guys this is what happens in corners when you take the sway bar off, and you’ll die.

 

I’ve heard it’s way more “floaty” if you have stock OR shocks, I have the stock hitachi’s for now, and I whip around corners, I personally don’t feel it, but it’s almost like no two trucks are the same, and “pants-feel” is subjective.

 

That moment he was like “I shoulda never listened to those idiots on TW”

 

Why not have both? Feels good on the road, and I can get power equiprement across muddy access roads I'm regularly on. I'm pretty sure a truck is still a truck even without a 3" lift and 5-figures worth of armor.

 

Or taking it off and putting it on over and over and over
