Adds to body roll - how much depends on your lift and shocks.
Gives way more suspension travel due to no binding. If you can live with the body roll its well worth it.

thanks mate, my cruiser has 2 inches of suspension lift, the body roll will not worry me at all, thanks for the info.

Might want to contact rta or your states equivilant as could affect your cars roadworthyness (prob not a word but you get it) As could also void insurance. dissconnects might be a better option.

I had 6 inch coils and 2 inch body and no sway bars, but i have full airbags in the ass of an extra cab 80, would pick up the inside wheel when going around round abouts and corners, have to watch ya speed around corners too, took the 6 inch coils out yesterday and put 2 inch in and body roll is just a little bit less, get some funny looks from people. lol
i was pulled up by transport inspectors and cops and the picked up no sway bars and threatend to defect me.
enjoy!!

i run a 3" lift and 33" tires any a rear sway bar, the front holds ur flex up the most and when u go off road its 10 mins to remove the rear, makes the front lift up a bit in corners but its still fairly stabe compared to none at all

Or you can purchase any number of commercially available aftermarket brackets that lower the chassis mounting points of your swaybars so that they return to the correct geometry in conjunction with your suspension lift.
Autocraft in Geelong, or Superior Engineering both spring to mind... or your local steel shop and your workshop at home.
