my effie didnt have either from the factory and i get along just fine with 33" mud tires. granted mine will handle differently then urs but it does just fine. with my 31 ATs i was able to take mild turns at posted speed, usually 55.
ur ok w/o the rear but im not to familiar with thise T-bar fronts so id keep the front plug they dont flex for shizzle...

The point of my post was this: there are many Ranger Supercabs on the road today that are comparable to the OPs Mazda Supercab that came from the factory without the rear bar.

heres something to chew on
if you remove your front bar and you get into a accident, someone may inspect your truck and see theres no front bar (a serious component of the front suspension) and find that you have altered the truck from its factory design and you may not be covered!
all torsion bar cars and trucks NEED front sway bars!
do not remove it!

haha, well....we could do an "almost quick" dissconnect...
the sway bar attaches to the axle, then an arm, thenthe frame.....where the away bar and the arm connect, theres a simple hex bolt...i guess we could unscrew it on both sides and let it hang for offroading...then re-attach when done....

You don't need to scare people into thinking the world is going to end if they disconnect the anti-sway bar. In average driving all you will notice is a smoother ride and more suspension flex. Two things the Ranger needs very badly.

I may have to try this. As I've continued to slant this truck towards offroading, my street driving gets "milder" (relatively speaking, lol).
Anyone know of "plug and play" Ranger sway bar disconnects?
Still hoping there's an easy solution. I'll make one if I have to, or if it's too expensive, but I'd like something to compare to.

His ID is SOKSNIFFER and I think he might be on ORR if you want to look him up.
