Off road they will let your jeep articulate better and be less stiff, if you're interested, with them disconnected you could flex out the rig.
What he said. Some people leave the front sway bar out, some people get disconnects. Depends on what you're comfortable with and how your suspension is set up.

At any rate the rear is useless

Looking back on it, because my jeep is my dd, I'm glad I have them. That's because when I'm just cruising around town like usual I can have them off, but if I know I'm going on the highway I can reconnect them.
