Strut rod questions

I was wondering on my 2200 if the strut rod on the a arms is a must or can i remove it without issues or problems???

You need to keep it or triangulate the arm. Without it, the arm will move around to much and be unstable.

Thanks Seth, I figured it would cause the arm to move alot, Just saw a couple guys locally with them removed and had me thinking. Anyone know of aftermarket arms that are not crap?
