tiny bit more body roll on a sierra...hardly notice it though, then again i didnt think the different offroad was that impressive either...could notice it nonetheless, try it and see if you like it...its only a few bolts

I daily drive my SPOA zook without swaybars, sure its got a bit of body roll, but nothing bad, and thats with flat soft springs. SPUA without swaybars was fine on the road, drove it like this for a year before i did my SPOA. Just do it, and if you dont like it, put it back on. But chances are you will leave it off.

don't do it!!

the wheels will fall off... you'll run over large ponys!!

and it's bad for the nvironment!...

ok, so thats bullshit, changes the onraod body roll very little, although your insurance company may see it differently.

off road it makes a fair difference if your springs are set to flex, was enough to jam the coopers on our lwb into the wheel wells hard enough to stall the engine.

got some pics somewhere in the gallery section of www.pointnshoot.org, under south west wandering i think.

Made hardly any difference on road but you could tell off road!

Take it off!

I agree with Nev and others - bodyroll isn't that bad with 2inch lift...decent shocks and springs will have as much effect.

I put my swaybar back on last week temporarily to measure the difference - I lost 2.5cm of "wheel drop" in the one corner (measured by jacking the car and measuring the difference in bullbar height)....so I took it back off.
