Rear sway bar removal

[JocoXJ]

I was wondering would it hurt to remove the rear sway bar to gain some extra flex? I have removable front links, and am having to replace my wheel cylinders and thought since I was there I'd remove my sway bar??

I'm thinking about the same, but mine is a complete trail rig... i have herd that if its a DD you dont want to, but then i have herd it doesn't matter.

Yeah I've also heard mixed comments on removing it, so I don't know which way to go

The rear sway bar is off my XJ. I don't think it hurts how it drives, but it's a lifted Jeep and I drive it as such. I took the rear sway bar off my wife's WJ when I installed the budget boost and she never even realized it was gone until I mentioned it.

Can you tell if it helped during 4 wheelin since you removed it? I would think it did.

The rear swaybar on the XJ doesnt particularly matter, ditch it.

My sway bar was already off when I bought my XJ. I do think it helps when wheeling if it's removed.

Ditch the rear sway..they really dont do much at all on the xj's..It will net you a SMALL amount of lift also.

Yea, ditch the rear sway bar. Keep disco's on the front if it sees the road.
