I did some pretty fast gravel road riding and its not bad. I did have to turn my front spring to hard and rear to medium to make up for some body roll.
I’m out in south central Alaska and bought a 22 Rmax2 sport. Got some extra goodies on it all ready. 32” Xtr 370’s, Winch, windshields, soft windows, inferno, mud buster mud flaps, under hood guards. She’s a beast. I’m going to try the smitty dual rates. Hopefully they take out the roll, bottoming, bucking at high speeds. I’m a mechanic as well and your information influenced my purchase greatly. Happy ripin!!
For the kind of riding you do, looks like the sway bar should be gone for good! Looking like the beginning of a great season. Beautiful country up there! Take care, and keep 'em comin'! Rick.
Good morning, I am writing from France. I am a fan of your sessions on Youtub. I am looking forward to my Rmax. Quick question: I saw you remove the anti-roll bar, did you put it back on or is it useless in slow and rocky routes? Good ballad Jean-Franck
Glad to have you with us ! Welcome ! and personally I will never install it again. I'm so impressed with the performance of the Rmax with it out, even with it in it did amazing but now its even smoother and feels much better to drive.
Not really. Well kind of. So the idea of a sway bar is that if the right wheel is high in the air then the bar will pull up on the left wheel and vice versa. So doing this makes for a rougher ride and sometimes bad steering feed back. Removing the bar allows for left and right wheels to operate completely by them self making it feel smooth. So removing the bar does not make axle angles worse. A lift kit or different (longer) shock body's would make the axle angles go out of factory speck. I hope this helps.
Wonder how it handles at high speeds with no sway bar. I'll take mine out too if it checks out!

Sounds like you got your rig set up very nice ! The springs help a ton to get rid of all that. I hope you get them and love them !
I wish I had that kind of riding around me. Nice work guys love the vid.
Thanks Greg !More to come.

Another great video I will be trying the swaybar on my r max Keep up the good work
Thanks and it made a huge difference. Iv gone many rides now and i love it !

Does it allow more droop? Do you think it will allow for worse cv angles and cause them to fail more easily?

Did you ever get those tie rod ends you were talking about? Sorry if You already talked about this?
I'm still rocking the Weller racing "loosy goosy" ends... Still waiting for other ones to test.
@@IslandMudSlingers aside from being a little loose, would you say they are constructed well?
@@michaeldarnell1656 Yes there are very tough. The rods are great just the joints aren't.
Does anyone make a disconnect system for these?
I’d wouldn’t want to completely remove it for flat trails and high speeds.
at the 12 minute mark, you may of got dirt in your eye ball but at least you got the shot!
Just add quick disconnects.. Best of both worlds
No sway bar eh? We run the twisties all the time. Yea I agree, clean up your mess. 👍🏻
I put 24 gram weights with tink seal in my Rmax from Weller Racing what a improvement.
how did it improve it ? what were you looking for doing those mods ?
It improved the high gear low end tork pulls hills like an old tractor, I don't care about top speed .
@@bertmoore817 Good to know. I may have to try that stuff.
@@IslandMudSlingers I don’t care about top end I like high gear low Tork climbing hills is mostly what I gained some quiter engine noise.
@@bertmoore817 Agreed I like to low end torque and mid range.
Oh A, you found some spare parts, what is
that for, Ha ha ha!!!
Hahha that's right !
🍻👍🇺🇲🇨🇦
Cheers !
Once you get your suspension dialed in without the sway bar, you’ll never put it back on!
Agreed. So far I'm on the hard setting in the front and medium in the rear. But I think I'm gonna make some actual spring adjustments.
Been running no front sway bar in the x3 for 3 years now , way better !
Yep she's never going back in.
