I have a 2003 rcsb it's a street truck on a 2-4 drop I keep managing to tear the grommets off my sway bar links and it's annoying replacing them... I dont daily the truck I mainly just swing it and try to go fast in a straight line however I do take it on long trips to pick up parts and other stuff.. how much would removing the sway bar affect drivability?

 

I took mine off and couldn’t tell the difference. I daily mine.

 

Just depends how you drive. If your not hitting turns real fast you probably won't notice it. It also being lowered will help too.
Its probably just the new angle due to the lowering. If you do notice a difference and want to put it back on, look into a kit like this.

 

No way in hell I'm pulling my rear bar off. LOL

 

Try polyurethane bushings and washers? I say that because I had that problem on my front when I installed the Hellwig stuff. The bushings kept getting pulled through the hole. Unless I'm not visualizing this correctly....
