Removing the dog bone should not make less vibration. It is there to REDUCE vibration. It is located on the bottom of the pumpkin, under where the driveshaft connects.

The sway bar, you remove the end links, and the mounts to the frame rails and it slides right out.

I gotta say I dont get that one either Nick. I'll say that with his 3.73's, the dogbone isnt probably doing a whole lot but it's weight over the rear end........

In any case, since I havent done it, I cant say how to do it. I know it's been covered in past threads if ya get real antsy to get it done.

Good luck.

Took mine off, no issues at all. Just remove the 2 bolts holding it on, then reattach the upper bracket that holds your bump stop with 2 shorter bolts. Done.
