I am so excited to get my coilovers!
Quick question, it seems that a lot of you guys aren't running the sway bar with your coilover'd trucks. Does it not work properly, or is it just that you chose not to run it? I tried driving my truck without the bar attached and it felt pretty unstable up front. Great for off roading, but I would be skeptical of driving on the freeways without it.

Just for fun, I'll say that I ran my ranger most of the time with the sway bar disconnected (3" body lift, 33x12.50's, bilsteins, fiberglass cap full of junk). Same reasons as Shane. Drove it on the freeway/highway all the time. Even windy mountain highways. Completely manageable.

Ive had them on my truck for over a year now and i havent looked back yet. These coil overs are so strong and feel great(ridewise) plus you can also adjust your ride height a lot more than you can with the torsion bars. Torsion bars hang WAYYYY low with the superlift drop down brackets and make the truck look YUCK IMO.
The only cons i kinda see with these coils is that they sorta touch(not bad at all) the cv shafts at full turn. Still has yet to affect my ride quality what so ever, Im still happy with it..
Pro's-Too much to list
Con's-Very little if any(besides the extra cost out of pocket but when installed it turns into a PRO lol)
