I am still planning on being there but I guess I will be lifting after the 1/8th so they don't kick me out for not having a cage. Do you guys think that 35 miles each way is to far to drive on skinnies?

youll be plenty fine. no sway bar,no STB on skinnies, oh and no front bumper support either

-brandon

oh and itll help some, 12 lbs off the nose, and itll transfer the weight to the rear. itll take like 15 min to pull it off

I have had my front sway bar off for about 2 years and I have no issues without it. Take it off and then forget about it.
