Removing the front swaybar is one thing, but removing the PHB is another. Some of you guys just shouldn't be giving advice, no offense
he's not talking about removing the PHB itself...he's talking about removing the upper PHB brace, the piece that mounts at both ends to the body itself, and that helps brace the PHB itself where it mounts to the body.

regardless, it should be put back in, whether it be the stocker or a custom/aftermarket one ASAP....you definitely don't want the body-side mounting point for your PHB to rip/break, or you'll have big problems.

Sam, I lowered the PHB bar on the drivers side to make room for my exhaust pipe on that side. Will this cause any handling/suspension issues or should I lower the bar the same amount on the passenger side to even things out?

Oh alright, sorry about that. Sometimes I don't read clearly enough. Please disregard my post.
