My TD5 110 doesn't have anti-rollbars. It wallows a lot more than any of my previous landys all of which did have them. I'm fitting rear spring assisters to help overcome this.

Yes they will restrict travel but they will also stabalise it. I debated wether I would fit any to my current landy but decided spring assisters would suit me better. When on the road the lack of anti-rollbars is noticeable.

If in doubt get him to take it off and test drive it CAREFULLY. It's far more noticable that the rear one is missing than the front one.

Took mine off to clean, paint, and change the bushes and ball joints, as they were clunking and banging at every turn. Only found out it was the rollbars once I'd changed every other suspension bush on the motor. :doh:
Drove it for three weeks and forgot to put them back for the MOT but it passed no probs and not even commented on.
Did not really notice any difference but it took me about 3 months to work up the enthusiasm to put them back on.
I dont do extreme off roading in it so dont need mega axle articulation. I do all my playing in my clients 4x4s in the Sahara so its out of my system when I get back home.
