Removed mine last year... if I’m going to be dirt road/blacktop riding which is typically just riding back roads to my parents, I try to remember to set the Fox shocks on firm to make up for the lack of the sway bar - it helps a lot. The first time I road over there and left them on soft, you could really feel it on the curves.
You can disconnect it and zip tie the ends out the of the way and drive it around and see how you like it. If so, then you can completely remove it!
I had been wanting to, but just never did until I added the 814's a couple months ago. With the wheels and shocks off, it made it too easy to resist. I left the bar, just undid the attachment.
Yeah but nothing crazy. I still hit them at 35-40 same as with the sways. Maybe 5 more degrees (at most) on the ole angle meter. Nothing i can't live with
How hard is it to remove? I do ride black top some around my house but not 50plus mph. How much of a diff does it help in technical rock climbing and all?
It took maybe ten or fifteen minutes to pull it. I took the left rear wheel off then the lower side of the shock. I unbolted it and pulled it out. I did have a second set of hands when untangling it from the machine and it made it easy. As for the technical rock crawling I cant say for sure I am in ohio. I don't get much of that on the home turf. I played in some usual areas where I need 4x4 to climb out of a creek bed and it did it in turf because of the added flex allowing both rear tires to be planted. I did run it 50ish miles at 40-60 mph on and off road to see how it would affect my day to day uses and while it does sway a bit more it's still plenty stable for high speed road use and running in the fields around the house.
