No Sway Bar.... Any CONS?

Quick question...... Are there any con's to not running a front swaybar besides the increased body roll?

Do Sway bars protect other suspension components?
Do sway bars help tires wear better or more evenly?

I left the front one out just to try it, and I haven't really missed it so far, probably put 1 tank of gas through it. If there isn't any reason other than body roll and handling, I'll probably leave mine out, it handles pretty dang good with the new Fox 2.5's.

Thanks for any advice you guys have!

If you ever needed to make an evasive maneuver at high speed (to avoid an accident) you would probably regret not having them.

 

Sway bars do not protect suspension components or make tires wear more evenly. Of course you will have increased body roll but you will also get more articulation if that's your goal. As long as you limit yourself to somewhere between 2-2 1/2" of lift, you will gain the most articulation with the front sway bar removed and keeping the rear sway bar in place.

Here is a great video by someone who has actually tested multiple sway bar scenarios. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcgKbUTQJy8

 

FWD to 5:30 for the pertinent part. Sway bar delete is a no go for me.

I'm not sure on this, but you might need to get extended brake lines due to the added droop.

There's also the possibility of added risk of CV failure.

 

Very valid points gentlemen! I don't have any of the long travel stuff like the last video posted, but also don't want to stress a bunch of stuff and cause failures which could have been prevented. This is precisely why I made this post.
Thank you a ton! I think I will throw that sway bar back in next week.
