Rear sway bar necessary? I just recently installed my 12-bolt and have not been around the parts store to pick up a set of U-bolts so I could mount up my sway bar...question...will I harm anything by driving around like this? I've heard before of a couple of people just removing it but would like additional info...
Thanks in advance for your input!

not sure about driving w/ no rear swaybar. i would just get a set of u-bolts and slap 'em on 
p.s. - you will find that the stock rubber bushing retainer straps (that bolt to the stock u-bolts and hold the bushing in place) arent going to fit the 3" u-bolts. if you lay them on the ground with the arc pointing up and give 'em a few whacks w/ a hammer, they will spread open. once you get them bolted into place, tighten each side a little at a time and the pressure will re-form them to the bushings and they will look factory

Sway bar i not really nessacary unless ya do alot of flying down highways and in curves. The sway bars purpose is to keep the car level on both sides. Going in a curve the drivers side pulls down on the passenger side and keeps the car from leaning to much to one side . May be this will help ya a little!
