When I did my drop with LCA's in the front, I had to go buy shorter swaybar end links, and drove the truck without it hooked up for a few days....It has a profound impact on turning, the truck felt like it was leaning badly when I'd turn, like it wanted to turn over lol. Other than that no issues.

When I dropped my truck with the 2" drop spindle and 2" springs I installed 12-way adjustable QA-1's up front and removed the swaybar. With the shocks on 7 up front it handled (turning) better than when it was stock.

Yes..It will allow your front to "lift" more and transfer weight to the rear..BUT in a truck I would strongly recomend leaving it in if you ever take turns/corners at higher speeds..
-Can you post some pics of your truck with the 4" lca's and v6 springs..How does it ride? and how much did it drop? I am thinking about running the same setup for a smooth lowered ride..

Thanks..truck looks great! I think that is the way I will go...So are the v6 springs a 1" or 2" drop? I would run some traction bars/adjustable shocks before removing the sway bar...unless all the roads where you live are smooth/straight lol....
