You should be fine with an XJ. The only time I can tell a difference is when towing and it's not bad at all.

The rollover was not due to my sway bars lol. It was the ten foot deep ditch that ate my ZJ for breakfast lol

If we are talking about the bar that goes from the frame on the passenger's side to the axle on the other, THIS IS IMPORTANT!!! It keeps the axle centered under the body and cancels all cornering stress. Without it, after the bushings wear out, the tires will hit the wheelwells.

If we're talking about the actual tiny sway bar, I personaly would go to a heavier one, unless you're looking for off-road flexability in which case remove it.

Just my oppinion.
