You can do without the rear sway bar, never notice it is gone. Some don't have them from the factory. You NEED the frontbar, and with 4.5" of lift should get some extended links for the front.

You don't NEED your front sway bar. I have been running with out mine going on 4 yrs now. Don't even notice its gone.
