Default removing front sway bar

Has anyone removed their front seat bar to get a little extra travel out of the front. If so how does it drive on the street?

I dont have mine on there... I think it drives fine. But I have always removed them from my "offroad" trucks so the body roll may be a normal feeling to me. It will change how you have to react in a quick maneuver though so keep that in mind. I also tow a 6500lb trailer very frequently

Is that your truck or just an example. The reason I'm asking is because I recently purchased some icon 2.5 coil overs with the CDC so I figured they would be able to handle and body roll.

In that pic, about 2.5" of lift. I have lowered it recently to about 1.5". I was getting a coilover extension bump hitting some bumps on the highway. There's other pics/info in my build thread

I love your truck, you helped me pick fuel wheels for my super cab.
