Dont run without a front and rear swaybar on road, off road it will be better but on it will be a nightmare. I would suggest either replacing your stock swaybars for now or getting some quick disconnects.

Yeah the rear is ok to leave out but the front can be extremly dangerous. I bought my Disco's from Rough Country for about 40 bucks. For a ZJ I am not too sure where to get them at sorry. Try Ebay first might get lucky.

Fine for an XJ, but not a ZJ...

The leaves on the rear of the XJ give it a pretty good ride without the rear sway bar(which is tiny and pretty useless to begin with).

But no rear sway bar on the ZJ is BAD mojo. Those rear coils are pretty soft and they need the rear sway bar to help keep control of the extra weight of the ZJ.
