I always just removed the whole thing. Remove Bottom bolt on #2 and 4 nuts from sway bar brackets and out it comes in one piece. |

That is what I thought I would hear. It seemed to me to be the only real way to do it. At the trail I couldn't break the bolts loose so I got a guy that had upper arms the size of my thighs to tackle it. No luck there either. I did think he way going to flip the KJ though! I'll have to spray them down and let them set a couple of days and try again. Thanks.................Terry |

What is the main advantage for disconnecting the sway bar? I thought I read that it didn’t make much difference (improvement) for off-roading. |

How does the IFS react to not having the sway bars? Does it mess with how the CV joints act while wheeling? Any binding because of articulation? Problems? |

no binding or anything but I haven't seen much difference with or without it. I have yet to try out how discoing the rear does. |

I have had my rear bar off for a couple months now. No problems at all. I have read the same comments about the front bar. But, some say it helps and some say it doesn't. I just want to see for myself. Terry |

Handles different with the rear swaybar off...a LOT more body roll around corners, but no worse than any other 4x4 I've owned. |

I took off my front sway bars on my old 98 TJ and it was a nightmare on the highway. The Jeep's natural urge to wander off road was magnified 10 fold. |

I guess, from what others have said, with the Franky II, I can get away without the rear bar. The guy that installed the Franky said I wouldn't need it too. And yes the KJ will wonder all over the highway without the front one on. Terry |
