Hi everyone,
Just want to start out saying thanks to everyone for all the great info on this site.

I have a '98 Dak SLT Club Cab 5.2L w/ K&N FIPK,Power Raid Throttle Body Spacer, 180 Jet Temp, 31x11.5 BFG AT's.I am looking at getting the 5.5 Tuff Country lift this year with some tax money. I have been told I should also get "quick" disconnects for my front sway bar in order to allow full articulation while off-roading. Is there anyone else out there that has done this, or have suggestions?
Also, and pros and cons you guys have heard about the TC 5.5" lift I would appreciate hearing. I don't know a lot about lifts as this will be my first one so I am hoping there will be no drive shaft issues with the TC lift.
Also, where can I get soem Skid plates for my Dak?

There is no way to put disconects on the dakota front sway bar. The way you could would make them to brittle. Just pull of the sway bar. It is 8 bolts and takes about 10-15min to do. I leave mine off all the time, but it is so simple to do you could just pll it off when you get to the trail.

How is the handling with the sway bar off all the time. I do most of my driving on the highway to and from work but then on the weekends I play as much as possible. So i don't want to do anything that may jeapordize my daily driver.

My truck handles fine with no sway bar. I puch it hard on turns also. I am running 33's with a 2in lift. If you hit a bad bump in the freeway it moves more than it did but not to the point where a I would reconect the sway bar.
