Merged the tread to continue topic...Read from first post for good info.
Ditch it. You know Chris Burandt ? I can throw my sled around pretty good like him. After you set it up right, the sled does what I think. I love my Pro's handling. Doo-it. Lol
I installed one on my assault and I like it better. I now run less preload on my shocks it handles better all around
Try it you might like it.
Took mine off to try it and liked it a lot. I'm 260 pounds with all my gear, and did nothing to my suspension, just took the bar out. Still rides great, and makes an already awesome mountain sled, better. I definitely recommend giving it a try.
What he said. I have a buddy that took his out and swears by it; but he also had to crank his springs all the way down...which is causing no travel left to deal with and I'm guessing could lead to a potential problem.
i'd say take it out, if you need it in you should retire and maybe take up knitting
So m8sandman...do you own a pro and if so tell us your actual experience with taking it out, meaning ...how did it perform b4 and after (both trail and mountain) and what adjustment did you do to your shocks.
What year of m you coming off of? I had an 08 then went to an 11 (both 153 tracks) and you can't tell the sway bar is on.

The Pro is very easy to test w/ it disconnected. Do it and then decide.
I tried a ride or 2 w/ it disconnected, and with the stock shocks/springs it didn't feel 'better' to me.
Every sled prior to the Pro I removed the sway bar..
Maybe with shocks setup for no sway bar it'd be OK, but w/ stock shocks there was too much body roll and it felt too 'wrong' on off camber situations, specially in setup/spring snow.
But, this is just another personal pref thing IMO. Setup your sled the way that 'feels good' to you.

Ran mine for 2 years with the sway bar in, this season, I removed the SB, and had the stock WE shocks revalved, and running Raptor Triple Rate Springs, and I love it.

My thoughts are that when upgrading shocks, it's a worthwhile thing to do because your new shocks are valved/sprung correctly.
Stock shocks/springs are valved for what, 160? So a 220# rider would have to crank them way up as to not bottom out. With the sway bar in place that gives a much tougher response on a side hill or on edge and stiffer on the rebound.
To really benefit from not running it, your shocks need to be set to your weight.

If you are new to this thread... IMO.... read from the first page.

You don't need to spend a sheet load on shocks, just get the Assault RMK Springs. They work super, soft when you need it but will not bottom out. Easy fix.
We agree to disagree, IMO keep it in.

I got a quick disconnect kit for my Pro and have best of both worlds. D/C swaybar off trail and reinstall when back on trail; takes very little time and worth it.

I have a rush 660 with wide arms and fox qs3r air shocks, still no snow, but curious how having no sway bar worked for you?
