I took mine off of the long travel kit I had. It does ride better, and handle worse. In the dunes it is a good option. You can always throw it back on if are gonna ride hardpack at higher speeds..................
Sway bar removal?
I was wondering if any one has removed the rear sway bar from there prowler? I was told it would ride better in whops but not corner as good? any truth to this! i ride glams and TB sands!

It all depends on the weight and/or how many people ride (2 or4) in the unit. Make sure when/if you do unhook the sway bar to leave it in place, out of the way so if you don't like the ride you can put it back easily. I would try it both ways. Drivers choice!!!
i ride normal with 1 person sometimes two if my girlfriend is in town!
dont have one on since the long travel kit ... i really dont noticed any handling differences ... but that could be due to where and how i ride
I was going to build a quick disconnect for mine but the bind that they have on them makes it pretty hard to do, its possible put connceting and disconnecting is where thr headache comes.
Tried it both ways on my Rhino. Hated it without. You'll totally lose confindence in cornering. JMO
I tried it and it does give you more travel and it does ride smoother, but handling sucks, I aired up the tires and helped a little but I ended up re installing it. I even tried it with the 350lb springs and still didnt like it. I ride in pretty rough stuff but run highway to get to the rough , only place I liked having it off was in the deep mud.
Did anyone that removed the sway bar have upgraded shock/springs? We are trying to get a smoother ride in a medium rocky area, desert trails. Thanks
Took the swaybar off my 08 650 last year in Utah and I won't be putting it back on. Couldn't tie it up out of the way because of the way the exhaust runs on the 08 though.
Handling in high speed corners is a little different but if you back out of the gas and then get back on it, it seems to handle fine. May try turning the rear shocks up a knotch or two but overall I like it.

Thank you for the information. What you are running for shocks and springs?Took the swaybar off my 08 650 last year in Utah and I won't be putting it back on. Couldn't tie it up out of the way because of the way the exhaust runs on the 08 though.
