Retired, work is a four letter word.
Got them reinstalled yesterday. So much better being back to normal.
Yep, @Ford was right, drives better with a sway bar.... who would have thought? :) I just wish it had the Bronco's electric disco.

I took mine off and love not having one. I drove 2200 highway miles in 3 days without it and didn’t really notice much difference. Makes potholes and road imperfections better to drive over. Of course I don’t haul ass around right corners or else the truck leans like crazy.
Very noticeable off roading and 100% happier without the swaybar.
Would do it again.

Interesting...I rarely drive over 70 and very conservative around corners so I'm going to take the bar off next time I rotate my tires...
Keep in mind I have stiffer front springs and I'm 6 inches wider. Once I get my rear 4 link setup I'll bring the front back down 2 inches or so. I'll set the rear somewhere around 2 inches lower I'll have to cycle it to be sure. Not sure if I'm going to keep the frame rails behind the cab or not but in the end I'll be lower with a lot of travel. No hate to the lifted guys but I'm team #neverlift

I will probably setup a rear sway bar however.

The last time I rolled onto a scale (full gear), we tipped out at 5,570#! I bet you're heavier than me loaded up...
I've got a rock quarry around the corner from my house that I've used to pick up crush run before my garage is built I've been thinking about going up there see if they let me hop on the scale real quick to finally satisfy my curiosity.

I know the full length RCI rack was roughly 98 lb when it was shipped but then I have roughly six more RCI panels that make up the platform framing. Then 10-ft unistrut x 4.

The poultry flooring I believe was only about 20 lb for the five slats. The various Plano cases I can't imagine weighing more than 40 50 lb at most empty. Hell it may be a lot less than that they're pretty damn light when they ain't got no foam or nothing in them.

I guess it's possible I got like 400 lb of electrical wiring though haha.

But in all seriousness with the platform the rack and all the various accessories attached to it empty I don't imagine I'm exceeding maybe 250 to 300 lb that I could be terribly wrong.

I've seen heavy duty replacement end links for the front bar.

So I remember someone on here making the quick disconnect links for the front sway bar. Anyone know who makes those or where I can get a set? I broke one in Moab last week. I removed the other side too so that it wouldn't be unbalanced. On road driving without the front sway bar sucks.
