There are a number of posts on these, do a search to get more opinions.

I am assuming you are riding an XP from your pic, 08/09 pull out the sway bar completely. Unless you ride %90 trail, you won't miss it.

Many people start out with one sway bar disconnect, it becomes a pain, they ice up, and then they just ditch the sway bar all together.

The 2010 had a lighter sway bar, and people still take it out.

I say waist of money. Pull the whole thing out you will not miss it!!

Don't waste the money, just disconnect it and leave it disconnected. only two bolts per side if you need to put it back for a trail ride.

so does a guy do 1 side or both?..I heard you only need 1 side done.

Like everyone else says don't waste you money, take if off. You can always install the quick disconnect later...

One side works if you really wanted to run a disconnect. The other side stays attached, and basically floats as its no longer attached at one end.

just one side because the bar goes through the chassis. removing one side renders it useless.

I had a 97 Summit, and a 2000 RMK. The first thing that would come out, is the sway bar. It would never go back in after that. I just purchased an older Rev, and someone was good enough to do it for me. If I wanted a sway bar, I wouldn't be riding a mountain sled. IMO

(not to try and hijack)
Does removing the sway bar put the a arms in any danger?

Nope. They are there just to make independent front suspensions a little bit less independent.

I made my own with about 3 bucks worth of parts. Really easy.

jeebus....I must be the only guy that can ride an XP with the swaybar in and functioning. just too mushy without it IMO.....I bought a stainless steel disconnect with an external spring and used it twice, never found it any different in the pow and a 100X worse on the trail going in or out.

ya i agree with this. my 2010 still has it in. and i can throw it around great.

and on the trail i tried disconnecting the bar and it just wanted to roll over in every corner.

i will probly leave it in. just wanted to have the option

have you ridden an '08 or '09? if so, did you notice a big difference in powder handling from your '10 with the different skid geometry?
