Default question for the off roaders here

hey guys just wondering.. i put a 6" RCD lift on my truck over the weekend, it was quite a job but my question is can you disconnect the sway bar for off roading? I know a friend of mine has a jeep with a 2.5" lift and he can disconnect it and get some pretty good flex out of the suspension. I put 35" Mickey MTZ's on it. another question.. who could go through more mud? he's running 31" BFG AT's on the 2.5" lift.

Let me move this to 3rd gen for ya, get you some answers.

BTW, your signature size is to large. 500x250 is the max it can be. Please change it!

Yes you can disconnect the sway bar and it will give you better flex but highway driving will be negated lol

You have done some considerable mods for offroading but jeeps are just made for the trails...his tires are alright in mud but not great, and if it's a short hole you definately have them...I think you could hang if not leave him, all depending on the spot

you gotta be careful when doing that- you dony want to over extend and bind/blow your axles---- with jeeps its fine because they have a solid axle. but if you have IFS IMO its a bad idea.
