And I thought this was a family oriented site! Sorry, it's been one of those days.

Troy, sorry to hear that. I hope it works out in your favor.

LOL!

Ok, call me stupid, but I've been reading all these posts regarding rear-sway bar disconnects etc, and am still dumb.

Do you guys actually remove the whole bar, or just disconnect the two points near the wheels?

Once you disconnect them, you realize you don't really need the bar connected at all, so you just remove it. However, I will let you determine your own suspension needs.

I would not advise removing the front bar permanently or otherwise disconnecting it on the road. The rear should be removed if you don't want it, I don't think you can keep it in a position to not interfere with the suspension if it is disconnected and left in place. It's very easy to remove anyway.

The rear sway bar also hit the right rear shock, it also has the great potential of denting the can.

My rear sway-bar is in a utility closet in my apartment.

My front get disconnected when ever I hit the trails. I have driven on the road with my front disconnected because I was too lazy and it was too muddy to reconnect it just to drive back to camp. I also had 18 psi of pressure in my tires, so I drove really slowly and didn't make any sudden movements. You can notice a difference with thr front discoed.

I know Ranchos will get dents , but i did not think our stock shocks may get hit by sway bar
I never seen any scuf marks or dents on my stock ones

hmm
i gues if it does hit them, you can get the dealer to change your shocks under waranty
