You can but it makes the rear end a lil loose on the streets. I wouldn't because it's a dd.

A lot of people have different opinions on this, but I pulled the front and rear sway bars off my old zj...daily drove it for a couple months, it did have a bit of body roll, but never once did it even come close to feel like it was gonna tip over...just drive it like a jeep, not a race car...and it will flex ok with the sway bars on, but not near as good without them.

I removed my rear sway bar and I don't feel that it made a big difference on the street. This is my dd as well. Removal of it did help with flex offroad.

I don't have a rear sway bar in mine either and you really don't notice it on the road but you will when flexing
