Anti roll bars.

Do you get much more axel movement if these are removed? When i measured the difference on mine with them on and off there was only half an inch in it. Doesnt seem worth it.

It's not so much the amount of difference that's important, rather the
fact that the suspension becomes more independent of the chassis/body.
If one wheel drops, the whole chassis won't try to follow it.

Right. Disconnected rear bar. Can i leave the bar attatched underneath?? It's supported by something else and wont swing underneath the truck......................... I think

Was going to fold rod over towars the back and secure onto roll bar with a tie.

me personnally i wouldn't leave it hanging.seeing as you have taken those 2 bits off ,it's only another couple of bolts to take the whole lot off

I'd take it right out if I was you. You're only 4 bolts and a bit of jiggling away from that anyway. With the bar left in place as it is you will get a banging/clunking sound when you go over bumps, and you risk it fouling on something and maybe breaking stuff if it gets knocked just right (or should that be wrong? ).

Let us know how it affects the roll handling as I'm seriously considering removing mine too to help with articulation - assuming I can't be arsed making some disconnects.

i took the rear off of my old 2.4 and never really noticed much differance there was a bit of extra roll but it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.i sold the 2.4 and still got the roll bar in the garage if anyone wants it

so i have been reading thru this forum and i went out and checked my hilux and i still have mine in the rear(and i couldnt any in the front) and i do have quite the lift not sure how much but u can check it out here and there are finally some 4x4in pics on their as well
but back the a.r bar it seems mine has been exxtended i assume it would have to be to accomadate the lift but i by takin mine out would i notice it greatly while drivin in the city cause i am prety top heavyalready and do roll quite a bit so i do have to watch my speeds around turns and iis it worth it would removin iit help me that much while off roadin

you will get more articulation with it off for off roadin but if take it off then you can see if you get more roll while normal driving,it wont take long to take off and if you find you get too much roll then it wont take long to put back on.It may pay to put the bolts back tho so that the bolt holes dont get full of muck

Looks good, although I don't suppose you did something similar before hand for comparison?
