i thought the sway bar controlled body roll. and the track bar kept the axle centered and stable under the truck itself. i could see you would have some bump steer because of the different track bar and drag link angles, but im sure the high lift, the large bouncy coils and no sway bar is whats causing your body to lean badly when you turn. or even wobble just driving down the road

yes your sway bar helps with body roll.
the trac bar does too......do a search on roll axis on pirate4x4.com.
they can explain it better than i.

couldnt tell you if its gonna break...
but mudding is really hard on any vehicle.
i would get this issue resolved before you go mudding it. if you lose a trac bar, its bad news!! good luck driving with a broken one.
have you had someone turn the wheels while your watching the steering and trac bar?
if not, do so. check your trac bar and steering for play. if there is, thats probably your problem.
if there is no play in them then ask more questions.

There are two reasons you a get body movement. One is really bad track bar bushings. The other is due to castor. The more castor you have the more it will move when you move the wheels from lock to lock. Have some one operate the steering and look at both the track bar and the position of the axle relative to the ground when steering from lock to lock.
