yea, i recommend trying it too. I still climb the same rocks the other do....LOL
We will have to compare some time and post results/with video. It helps a ton with keeping both front wheels planted. Handles flex with the control arms instead of trying to flex frame. I like it.

I could make it to mudholes from community center in one of my Neons too. But I don't recommend it.

yeah, I figured it was a tradeoff... better for some things, but not so much for others. I may still try it just to see what all the fuss is about.

It's just a couple nuts from being out I'd try it. Very seldom is it unsettling but sidehills watch a little

Maybe in your store but wrong location for tullahoma store. From front of store they are roughly 12-15' from start of aisle on the right. Yeah I'm a rookie. But I'm nailing locations and don't even work there (bows).
Every Lowe's is situated the same rookie boy.... Except the bathrooms...

I hear ya... Fact is your back tires come off the ground more when the sway bar is in. All dependent on the kind of riding you do on whether it helps or hurts.
I disagree... I understand the swaybar unites the rear tires, making it harder for each to move independently but I believe it's better traction all around with it attached. The tires give soooooo much they act like unhooking the sway bar...

See how my right tire is off the ground in this picture? It does that easily with the sway bar. It does it a whole lot less with the sway off.

For me the traction is better because the tires stay on the ground more. The articulation on the rear is unquestionably better.

Full on in agreement here! Off road is no question. If you push the rig you feel it in but you don't feel it out lol. 90% of the time id prefer it out 5% in and 5 % either way. It's got a different feel that takes a sec though. We're still carrying extra tail weight with it out. On windy road loaded at high speed is the ONLY time I'd like it
It's probably not for everyone but I'd sure suggest for the 30sec it takes just try it.

That pic shows the left tire trying to squat more under that weight but it cant. Cause it's connected to tire with no weight=no flex. So rig tries to flex the next component which is the frame. That ain't flexing so you got lift off on right side. Same principle on frontend. Mine stays down on all twos more now. Btw awesome pic!
