If you know what/where they are, all you need to do is disconnect both sides using simple socket or c wrenches. No damage will be done just be careful making turns at high speeds

I daily drive mine with no front or rear sway bar. They are really easy to take off and if you just disconnect the front depending on the lift you may not feel much of a difference

Start your own thread. You'll get more help, and you won't hijack some one elses.

if you have some way of keeping the sway bar up and out of the way it wouldn't be a bad idea.
