I'll post some next week. I am going hunting this weekend with some buddies. We are going to Central Missouri to hunt wild hogs and Elk on a friend of ours game farm. I'll be back Sunday so maybe I'll have some pics.

Ha, Ha, I figured it out a long time ago. I really wish we did get more snow but I do love the warm temps here in fall and spring so you can't have it all. Thanks for the compliment. I installed the PVC snorkel today also. I'll have pics of that later as well.

I REALLLLLY need to remove the front sway bar!! Notice how the fronty does not articulate at all. That will be done this week yet.

I actually prefer mine to be on when on-street. If I go anywhere I need articulation, it's only a couple bolts (12mm?) to pop it off.

I also would like to be able to switch it over quickly, but I broke both the bolts offwhen trying to remove it so it is gone for good. I drove it tonight and did not notice much difference. I was not going through the slalom course though.

My background is non-truck, non-offroad, somewhat heavily Corvette-based asamatteroffact, and I feel a TON of difference without the anti-sway bar.  Off-road, it's a bonafide liability.  On-road, I refuse to go far without it, and in fact installed the stouter XL-7 bar on my SWB truck when I put the heavier (but not that much heavier) motor in.  It handles significantly better, and I often consider putting a bar on the rear, too.

Like I said, you've got to decide for yourself.  Until The Man decides to legislate it, that is..

I need more weight on my front bumper (the springs I got were for a heavy bumper & winch) to get the alignment back in spec... so I really notice a difference without the sway bar in turns.

Risking too much disclosure, I work for a company that deals with aligners.  I'm very leery of using alignment bolts or slotting holes, so I'm concerned about going from my 1" spring spacers (easy to re-align to specs) to 1.5" spacers, which are alleged to need slotting/bolts.  I'm wondering if 1" wheel spacers might provide sufficient leverage to make up the difference.  Any insight?

I slotted my EMU struts. Just take weld in a washer if you're worried about anything coming loose. The way I treat my tracker in the dunes, I'd break alignment bolts too often.

I kinda like the way mine looks with posi camber...or is it negative?   /shrug.

Regardless....I've never had brand new tires before...so the way I see it...I'll have more lift and need bigger tires anyway before these are worn out.

I use 1.5" spacers and 1.5" wheel spacers. Mine is not cambered out at all. I thunk the wheel spacers do add enough leverage.
