keep it on or toss? I've also read somewhere that the swaybar needs trimmed a bit for bags.

any advantages, disadvantages, thoughts?

thanks gang!

Slap it in there and see if it works. Mine cleared fine- others have had to trim. I figure the more stability the better. I guess it depends on if you want the truck to handle or 'dance'...

I think most folks are trimming 1" to 1 1/4" off the ends ... makes sure you chamfer those edges too.

Yes, run it. You can use the CPP perches, or bolt it directly to the frame. Either way, mount it up as it will be an improvement.
