[AndrewHadji]

Been trying to source some either from states side or downunder/europe. Does anyone have a lead on some of these? Thanks!

Havent seen any, try for a 60 series. Not much to drop off one side, removing it makes stuff all difference anyway and I believe the 4wd is better offroad with the swaybar.

I tried a swaybar disconnect about 10 years ago and didn't find it very good, the one I brought was made out of a piece of rod and a few washers, bushes, pins and a bit of tube, there was too much stress on the pins and they all bent and wouldn't release, I ended up taking the sway bar off and haven't ever needed to put it back on so I've run with out it ever since. Offroad the front was able to articulate better without the swaybar and onroad I don't have any problems with body roll it drives and handles nicely on the highway

Thanks @sadam_husain, i realize most people just take them off. If i wasnt going to load the truck up, i would not hesitate. I do plan to load it up on occasion and dont want a repeat of

I would like to keep them both on for on highway and have discos for offroad. I learned my lesson that they are there for a reason. Thanks for the pic, it helps me visualize what it will look like.
