I don't have one and really didn't notice any difference on street corning. I don't push it into turns tho. I wouldn't daily drive w/o one. never went to the track w/ sway bar for comparison. they do weigh a bit and fight against weight transfer at the track. it depends on how serious you are at the track.

I took mine off, but at the same time had adjustable shocks that I tightened way up when street driving. Didn't notice it was gone.

Mine has been off for 5 years. I drive the x-way at 75 mph and track it when possible. I never noticed any difference in handling.

Worth at the track...who knows for sure ?

Normal driving didn't make a difference in my 2500. Unless you are going to do a lot of heavy cornering, there are zero cons. That means at least it pulls 25lbs off the truck in the worst place to have weight.

Good call on taking it off.
