Wondering if putting the anti sway bar back on my truck would benefit it. I rarely drive it on the freeway, and I tow it to the trails with my 07 silverado. I have a 6 inch lift and 35 s would it limit my suspension travel, or help?

If its just a toy, and used mostly for off road, I'd leave it off. It will limit your articulation big time. Driving on the freeway wouldn't justify a sway bar anyway. Anti Sway bar is to limit the body roll during cornering. That's about it, so I suggest, NO, leave it off. Its an off road rig, not a drifting rig :roflbow:.

Not at all. Nothing but a stiffner from frame to lower control arms, in your case, front axle. It doesn't take alot of space. Slide it in behind a workbench or something. You never know when someone might pay you a few bucks for it for their mall crawler.

Your Suburban would lean so much, I am not sure you would like its cornering performance.

My buddy had the sway bar disconnects on his rubicon, I took a ride in it on the street and it was scary as hell. Every corner felt like it was falling over.

Thread jack. I think they make a rear sway bar as well? Would adding one of those benefit my truck on the road? I have the front one.

SHes a little top heavy cornering and wondered if it would keep her on all 4's
