    Brahddas so ders a bar that runs across underneath that bolts to da frame from left to rite. Not the sway bar. It's straight. Can I drive without it? I drag it everytime I get in driveway. I'll post pic later.

    it stiffens the lower control arms and helps control frame flex, especially since your engine mounting, front suspension, steering, and sway bar all induce frame flex right there.. I WOULD NOT remove it, or you could run the risk of ending up like the Dodge Dakotas that break frames at the firewall because they're not properly braced.. Just my $0.02
