Nice pics.
Sway bar disconnect? there used to be an option from Australia but that went away. The best option may be to delete it all together. Flex wont be great but its a lot better without it

Thanks! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
I already removed the rear sway bar. It still corners decent on road. How much does the front sway bar affect road driving?

It is a personal taste kind of thing. I did not like driving on the road with out my front sway bar. Pull it off and try it. With a locked rear you will max out your flex on the bump stops with it still on. With no lockers I could see trying to get that little extra traction by removing it.

Nice! Yup, ditch the rear bars for sure. Try without the front. Bear in mind the greatest impact will likely be during emergency maneuvers which is difficult to safely test. Wow nice pic's what kinda camera did you get?? Those look awsome!! Uh.. You prob don't realize (most don't) what an insult that might be to a photographer... You don't ask what kind of paintbrush is that to a painter after all.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

With a locked rear you will max out your flex on the bump stops with it still on. With no lockers I could see trying to get that little extra traction by removing it. I realized that I didn't check the front suspension to see if it was maxed out or not. I'll take a look at it this weekend. I may trim the bump stops a bit too.
