track bar removal...

If your drag-link isn't parallel or close to parallel, you'll have bumpsteer.  If your leafs are stiff though it shouldn't be bad.  Also, if you haven't lifted the Jeep much, it shouldn't be bad.

You do not want to remove the trackbars from a TJ.  The suspension is completely different  from a YJ and removing them would be dangerous.

Was driving it today and was taking corners hard, hitting potholes, driving over curbs.  What a difference! Bumpsteer hasn't reared head thus far.  

Sounds crazy, but it actually seemed to corner better - maybe inside tires, on axles now "sans" track-bars, somehow stayed more in contact with the road when I cornered hard.  Dunno.  Highway handling also seemed better - maybe the slightly better articulation keeps more tire in contact with the road over bumps.

okay just got back form the movies, saw borat, not as good as u'd expect, but anyway.  It was either really windy, or trackbar makes that much of a difference, im gonna leave it out for a while, and see.  But the ride is def. smoother.

It should be a night/day difference for the better.  Leaning will still be controlled by the sway-bar though.  If you drive on teh street, it's probably best to keep it on and pick up some inexpensive disconnects.  I believe the cheapest are still the Rubicon Express.

Man, just had to say, again, that my YJ drives so much frickin better without front/rear track bars.  Guess my leafs are still stiff enough so that bump steer ain't really there. 8)
