The rear sway bar is much smaller diameter than the front so the stiffness is much less. You can still completely stuff your wheel with the rear sway attached. Front and rear suspension allows for different amount of travel. The front discos are there to keep the tires in contact with the ground so you can control it.

You can disconnect the rear sway to get higher articulation as long as you are literally crawling because the roll stiffness will be greatly reduced.

For a really smoother ride your need independent suspension front and rear i.e. Range Rover. Then you won't even spill your coffee. :)

Taller lifts no issues.
I've ran 4" with 37s w/out it
Current setup is 40s with 6" w/no issues.
As of now due to work mines seeing way more road than offroad.
To each their own but it is not advisable. It highly impacts the handling and dynamics of the Jeep. It's importance may only become obvious at the worse possible time (Murphy's Law applies).

It's a jeep not a sports car. If your going around curves like your in a corvette or Porsche I would advise not lifting it or running bigger tires & keep you rear swaybar.

I say take it off keep it and run without it for a month & if it " highly impacts the handling ". Put it back on. You will never know as some people don't unless you give it a shot.
:) This is not the seventies when anti-sway bars and traction bars were only on pony cars.

Believe or not sway bars are on dozens of vehicles not just cars to improve safety and provide more predictable handling at highway speed, particularly when you have a high CG and owners are changing the relationship to the roll center with lift kits.

The beauty of Freedom is you can do what ever makes you happy including possibly rolling your JK. Why not remove the gas tank skid plate, 4 nuts from each wheel and maybe one of the engine mounts? Nothing will happen, at least for a while. :D

It's great to have choices. :thumb:
