Sway Bar on Nitro

[Sleds R Fun]

just wondering how many people are riding there Nitro with out the sway bar and arn't running float shocks?

I have sway bar removed, cant remember but do I have to pull the sub frame to install again?
Thanks

I ran my 08 with stock shocks without swaybar. seemed fine to me.

ran my 09 without it. made handling in deep snow better. installing it back in would not require the hole subframe being pulled. mike

My '08 was really lean and dive a lot more on the trail, but has easier to side hill and put on edge in the powder. I would definetly do it again. I also installed stiffer front springs and that helped a lot with on trail stability.

You don't have to remove the subframe to remove the sway bar. However, the bolts that hold it are loc tighted on. We stripped the head on one of the hex bolts on my buddy's sled and ended up drilling it out. I think the general consensus is that once you remove the sway bar, you will not put it back on.

ran my 09 with stock shocks with the sway bar removed.

I just compressed the springs a bit. It did dip a bit more on trails, but the benefits was far greater than the negatives.

Thanks for your input! I have switched from Float's to Zbros! Will get some more time on them before I jump around installing the sway bar!

If you are running Z-bros shocks, then it is a no-brainer. Take the sway bar out and leave it out.

So far not impressed with the ZBros! Working with them to fix, there just way to soft.

I removed the hardware for ONE side of my my sway bar and it is much easier to handle on sidehills. Trail riding still feels "different".... but who the heck wants to ride there anyway....

Zbroz are awesome, they will help you out. Have had great luck with them, putting rears under my Ez-ryde this year. Shad
