Yes if you value your safety on the highway…

I ran without a front sway bar for months on 12" wide tires and made up my mind it just wasn’t safe enough for me…high winds, s turns on the highway at speeds, expansion joints, etc and a variety of other conditions made the sway scary at times.

The truck is more stable off-road also, you give up so little flex with the anti-rock design, even the comp guys run them, I really see know good reason to do without.

Um....yeah.

I don't think I'll run any sway bars with mine, but I will probably go with the Nitro bump stops instead. Adjusting them when I go on trail, and again for on road.

I may not be a daily driven X, but safety on the road is still safety.

Not running coilovers, leaf springs.

There is a reason I trailer mine... It is taxing running six hours worrying about the consequences of every move. My rear is probably going to have the Currie Antirock Sway Bar here soon.
You guys are fairly stable in the rear with the leafs. However if someone else drives your rig from time to time... get the sway bar for the front sas for sure.

The reason I ask is that the only SASed rig I've ridden has 2.5" King coils and shocks (& no swaybar) and that bugger runs better on the road than my stocker. But I've also heard horror stories about highway manners out of the SASed vehicles.

I have driven mine with no sway bar for 8 months. I have leafs and have tried numerous spring packs and dual shocks. The problem is too much wheel travel.

I finally put the stock sway bar back on and I love it.

I highly reccomend a sway bar if Your driving on the highway.

Well my '69 Blazer didn't come with antisway bars and it rolls all over the place, even with good shocks. Stock height rollin' on 32" MT/Rs. I put a locker in it and am halfway scared to drive it (has a mind of its own).

I am adding an antisway bar ASAP.

Are most people planning on running both swaybars or just one? Front or back?

I have only a front sway bar. The more travel you have the more You need a sway bar IMO.

I only have the front one. And even with that one on I have more than enough articulation.
