Driving without a front swaybar is dangerous no matter what the suspension setup is. I had mine removed for a ride from the trail to a gas station a mile away to reconnect it in some light. A deer ran out in front of me so i tried to swerve and as soon as i did the back end lost traction. I was within inches of an embankment that would have sent me rolling down the road. I have three defensive driving classes and an evoc certification under my belt, so I'm very familiar with recovering a vehicle from a slide. Driving without a swaybar makes the handling of the vehicle unpredictable in an emergency situation. It's not just your life that can be affected by removing your swayar.... remember that.
no but srsly ive heard this a million times, to each their own, my swaybar links are already bent, ive driven without it before, i feel comfortable without it

ill just say this...im a professional driver. Ive done it all from track racing to truck driving. You NEED sway bars. without them you have no control over what happens when you turn the wheel, especially with a front axle. its happened to me. you need to keep the cars center of balance directly in the center of the car. too much weight one way is catastrophic. the sway bar is designed to keep the balance in check

Just ask yourself this question, if you hit a minivan with a mother, father, and two kids on their way home from grandma's house and killed both parents and traumatized the children for life because one of your tires blew out unexpectedly and you couldn't keep control of your vehicle because you disconnected your sway bar..... would you be able to explain to the kids that they watched their parents die before them because of your careless decision?
Words that have stuck with me for the rest of my life: "selfless before selfish" Think about it.
