What are the pros and cons to running one?

PROS: More stable on the road, less roll in corners

CONS: Less flex for offroading:ermm:

I have a 4.0 V6 Ford Exploder, it is only used to get me from Point A to Point B, to haul my little quad trailer around. I never go offroading with it so I thought it might be a good idea cause the Exploders are kind of "darty" on the road!

almost all modern vehicles have swaybars on them from the factory.

Depending on the year, it probably has them front and rear already. I think you have one that is newer than an 02? The 02+'s have independent rear and have them front and back, if its older I think it only has the front one, but I might be wrong.

It's an 04, I am thinking of upgrading mine, mine still has lots of body roll on it on turns!

They make some that are really easy to disconnect so you can have a stable ride then when you get the offroad place you can take them off really easliy. I have them on my Jeep and they make it such a better ride.
