I always wondered, what real difference to the ride does this actually make? As far as I know, the sway bar just kept the truck level while making turns, am I right?

As Kent said I removed mine, Bobby put his back on. (I think?) Yes, you are correct. You see a lot more body roll with it off when cornering. I can take a 55 mph rated corner at 75mph. Any more than that and I wouldn't recommend doing it. But then again, if you're taking 80 mph corners than a truck is not for you lol. Another good thing is now I can hit potholes, speed bumps etc... and not break my neck, truck is nice and smooth now
