IFS Swaybar

Recently disconnected both bars on my Surf.
Generally rides softer, and more compliant on road, but does roll more on cornering. A little spooky at first, but when yo learn to trust that it will still corner, its finel. I just go slower round bends, it's a truck after all, not a sportscar.....
A couple mates with BIG Surfs run no bars, no dramas.
I might still run just the front bar on road, with DIY discoonects for the bush.....

a mate disconnected his front sway on his jackaroo only yesterday went on a run last night and result was broken cv and tie rod 
on the same side(pass) it may not have been as a result of the missing swaybar but seems very stange also the front was working very well before hand its never had big probs with cvs only ever broke one (driver side) that i can remember and its never broken a tie rod end before it sheared straight though

I've had both sway bars out for the last 2 yrs. Ppl say that you are placing more strain on the CV's etc, but that is a load of crap. The bump stops are what limits the wheel travel on double wishbone IFS setups (whether they be internal to the shocker or external. The one thing you may need are slightly heavier sperings to minimise the body roll around corners. This need not come at the expense of reduced offroad ability, as most vehicles are too soft in the front (especially) anyway.
Lifting the vehicle via a spring lift will only accelerate the wear on the DOJ/CV's if the bumpstops are unmodified.
