I wouldn't do it on stock springs,because of how spongy they are.

But otherwise your fine,just do so at your own risk.

You will be fine without your anti-sway bars, front and rear. Each case is different, but after I took mine off years ago I didn't even notice a difference in the handling. With no anti-sway bars, you will never forget to disconnect the front before traversing a ditch ever again.

You'll get used to extra body roll. Only time I wouldnt keep mine out is if I did a lot of highway driving.

No sway bars, swerved at 65 to avoid hitting a skunk (if a skunk hit my front driver tire with no doors I would have crashed anyways) and didn't roll.

I sold mine three years ago for scrap metal lol 4.5"lift now have 35x12.5s rally race, drift it, daily drive, not a issue one. actually helps keep contact with the ground much like the old ac cobras chasis would twist allow contact at all times while racing. the trick is to know how your rig responds. sometimes swaybars help sometimes they hinder.
