I want to put a swaybar disconnect kit on my '78. But what are the limitations of driving it? Do you need to re-connect it for faster parts of a trail, or on fire roads and that sort of stuff? Does it get very unstable on quicker twisty bits? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Input from those that found out the hard way would be much appreciated /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
Basically a matter of your personal feel for the handling of your rig....i know lots of people that take their sway bar off completely and throw it away.
 
And it's safe? Even on the road? I don't mind a bit of wallow but I don't want to visit the hedgerow uninvited!
 
Its pretty much how well you know how your own rig handles. If you know the characterists of your rig really well, then go for. With my burb, I still tow a travel trailer, so I choose to leave my sway bar installed and just use the disco's when i wheel.
 
I removed my swaybar completely. It really isn't bad I guess, and I agree that is in large part, how well you know your rig. I have driven it that way on any kind of trail you can imagine, way too fast at times, and long trips down the interstate a few times without incident.

Long story short, it works, but I am going to get another swaybar and the disconnects as soon as I get the D60 in.
 
Thanks guys. I guess ORD are going to get some overseas business then! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
