Rear sway bar

I have a problem with the back rear of my 1995 XJ "jumping" around when I hit bumps. If I disconnect the sway bar will this help? Thanks...Tj
EDIT: oops it a 1994...

It will allow the rear to flex. Just lose it and you will be happier.

Thanks XJ, what happens is when I hit bumps it feels like the rear jumps off the ground a bit...Tj

Bad shock will do this as well.

Thanks OverlandXJ. I suspected as much but didn't want to buy new shocks when I'm getting them with the 3in lift next week...Tj

Does removing the rear sway bar make for a smoother ride in the rear?
Does it have any adverse effects on highway driving?

Would there be any reason to do this other than offroading?
