2" lift and no ARB was created by me101
Hi - looking for some confirmation if possible please. Had a few days away, and broke a few bits! 1 part is the anti roll bar, this is now bent. I am considering trying it with the bar removed, so, my question is, do I need to have extended brake lines as I have a 2" lift? The rears have been fine on the original pipes, but wonder if the additional travel from removing the bar will cause some damage? Cheers

I have driven without the ARB on a SJ, not comparable I know. But still with that experience I will never do that again. I had lotsa mods on it and one thing can work on one car but with your tyres, your lift, your weight, your speed, it can be different.
The car can behave a bit unpredictable especially if loaded with a bit of weight, pulling a trailer, doing a swerve to avoid a sudden moose..
It can be OK going slow, but different at speed.
Be sure to test it in a safe environment.
I would not do it, and definitely not recommend it, but several people in here say it is ok.

I have thought about it, and just going to replace it. I tow my camping trailer, and don't often get stuck on the lanes I do, so going to play safe. Cheers

This is how I feel, I've done it, I know what it feels like, I would not do it again, and I would definitely not recommend it.
