| How many of you that are running leaf springs are running a track bar on the front. I got rid of the one in the back years ago and I'm trying to figure if I should or need to run one in the front. I do plan on running sway bar disconnects on the front for road use. Just looking for a little input and maybe pictures of your setup. | |

| I attempted a track bar in the front for a bit and kept breaking the mount (mostly due to an improper setup). I was orginally freaked at the thought of not running it but it really didn't feel scary. I have no issue running on the street with no track bar and no sway bar once i had the hi-steer. I'll have to let you take mine for a spin sometime. | |

| yeah we should have done that a long time ago. After talking to you and rob I'm just going to fab up my sway bar and take the track bar off. I'm running high steer arms with a inverted T set up for the steering hardware. EMS hooked me up with some tips on what they have had the best luck with. | |

| mines stock lost the front one last week no change in drivability including beating integras and civics around a traffic circle. O, the front goes over bumps smoother. | |

Yeah I miss those days of being able to bark the tires in all gears while pulling on all the little rice burners. Yeah if I knew this I would have tossed the front one years ago. | |

| Yeah something about driving over a jeep never turns out good.
BTW the swap is done and the jeep drives like a dream. Steering and ride hasn't felt that good in years. Stock springs kinda suck but will do for at least the next couple of months. | |
