CHASMAN9 said:WOW, I wouldn't run a buggy without a rear anti sway bar. HUGE difference in my opinion. Some people run them on both ends but I've always found them fighting each other and easier to roll. Just ask Jake Burkey, I bought the one off his front. lol

the_white_shadow said:I have a rear Tk1 bar on my buggy. Ended up taking it off after the shakedown run to see how it worked without it. Wheeled the next weekend and couldn't tell the difference. Probably just leave it off. For a crawling trail rig that has proper suspension geometry, a swaybar isnt needed IMO. Key word there is proper. Not saying mine is perfect, but it seems to work well without it. You may have other issues if youre experiencing excessive body roll. Shock placement/link placement/shock travel/shock tuning/etc all play a huge part.

74_Chevota said:Its not always about geometry. My Coil overs are setup with lighter compression and rebound. This allows my buggy to ride smooth and sway bar keeps it from having body roll. No matter what your geometry is like, you WILL have body roll if you run a soft suspension. Albeit, body roll can be cause of also poor suspension setup.
my advice for anyone looking into a swaybar is do NOT go with a TK1. They WILL fail eventually. Several buddies have had issues, along with myself. The spline will either strip in the bar or the arm; or the bar will just flat our fail and break. TK1 will NOT stand behind the product either. Just my experience.
Currie is about the best for a budget sway bar you will get. PAC if you want the best of the best.

For crawling and bouncing it seems like you`d be wasting your money unless you had them set up lose as hell which would give you bad ride on the trails all the way around. Someone else might can chime in on a case where one would be needed though.
