front sway bar?

Has anyone had any good luck by removing the front sway bar to help free up the front end and make the weight transfer to the rear better?

Ya I had never disconected it before this fall. I finally tried it with it disconected and knocked off 2 tenths of a second.

If it wasn't for the disconected sway bar I don't think I would have ever run a 12.45

Thanks Don, you always seem to be the one that gives me the answers I'm looking for. I am going to try it and see how I like it then. Did you have any problems with tire wear or anything like that after removing it? Maybe I can get the same .2 and get under that 12.5 mark.

OH HELL YEAH!

the front sway bar is a must to take off. I didn't beleive it either, but it works really good, even on the street too!

You'll feel your truck get a little slopy and tranfer better right away on the street.
