Default Removing front antirollbar

Currently i`m driving without a rear anti roll bar.. and there's not much difference for the road.. but of corse its for the offroad. i`m thinking of removing the front one too for better offroading capability. what are you guys suggesting? will it be a big trouble in the roads?

It depends on your shocks. If your shocks are bad or have a low rate of damping, it will roll badly, but it will also pitch and dive badly for which the anti roll bar won't help. If you have firm shocks with a higher rate of compression damping, you won't notice the bars are missing at all. Range Rovers came without anti-roll bars for many years. It was only because they wanted to soften the shocks that they added them. The anti-roll bars are barely effective. The ACE system on the DII is what it really takes to get it to handle better than a truck. That or the independent suspension they ended up with.

No, it really doesn't. It depends on your springs. body roll is a slow thing, relatively speaking, and shocks are designed for damping out the rapid unwanted oscillation of the springs that occur after the initial bump or depression is encountered. The reason guys can take sways off after they lift is that almost always the lift springs have a much higher spring coefficient than the stocks did; they are "stiffer". Now go read up on Hooke's law and spring damping, and stop answering questions that you don't understand. Dude is looking for help.
