View Full Version : Why would you upgrade to larger Sway Bars?

Someone please explain to me why would anyone want to upgrade their sway bars to thicker ones on an off road vehicle? It seems to me that no sway bars at all is best for off road use and the thin stock ones off sort of an in-between for street & off road use.

What would the benefits be for upgrading these? I can see how they would reduce body roll on the sreet. However, thicker ones would seem to reduce articulation at the same time.

Easy-

When I pitch a 6400lb vehicle into a soft curve at 80MPH, I want it to tract correctly thru the turn.

When I wheel, I remove the bars. It allows the most axle travel possible.

He understands what the benefits on the street are, but is asking about the best compromise for on-road and off-road, with an emphasis on the off-road part and what benefits you'd have off-road. I know if I removed mine, I'd have to use limiting straps, so it is easy to just keep them on when wheeling. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
