    Lucky! Actually I think it broke off, drove for a while, realized it, repaired it. Then a month later broke again, repaired again and then I was good.... Not sure if it broke again or not...

    I have heard of people not running them at all? is it more of a body roll issue you think? I do have the torsion bars cranked (if you didnt notice that).

    I ran mine with out for a while, I noticed it because when I would hit a bump it would shimmy back and forth real bad. Unless I hit a bump it was fine.... So you can run with out but on the highway it might be a little squishy.....

    My buddy has a jeep with no endlinks or swaybar, it's downright scary at highway speed. I can literally rock in the passenger seat and change lanes for him.

    If you want to see what it's like without them, just pull the other side and go for a ride. Won't hurt anything. You'll probably rub taking corners at speed.

    Yeah I was thinking I might rub more.. leaning towards just putting some more in..

    and dang.. that sounds a little sketch being able to change lanes for him lol

    if I rub under certain circumstances already, that might not be a great idea for this truck? I wheel probably like 3 to 5 times a year.... not near enough as I should...
    it allows the wheels to have more individual articulation

    It is fine to run a leaf-sprung vehicle without swaybars. They are kind of useless actually. If you have coil spring suspension they are ABSOLUTELY needed on the front end. Not so much the rear. Just get some quick-discos and you are good to go.

    Can you even get quick disconnects for that setup? What make/model is the vehicle? With the limited amount of off roading you do I'd just get standard replacements.

    A lot of people go to Ace Hardware and make their own quick disconnects.
