get a set of quick disconnects from any offroad manufacturer and then remove the one in the rear and you'll be A-ok

Quick disconnects are awesome! I ran them with the stock links at ~3 in fron and ~3.5 in back and it worked fine. I have longer ones now though

I would help to replace the front links. On the rear you can honestly remove the swaybar all together. It will have no effect on the vehicles handling being gone.

Yeah I just cut mine right out when I did my lift. No noticable changes minus better flexing
