i know removing your rear sway bar will give you more felx in the rear. and iv heards its useless to the jeep. iv also heard it can destroy you leafs. so my question is whats are the pros and ons of removing it and any suggestiong. its my DD with RC 4.5 add a leaf and i am running 33s if that helps at all. thanks guys
Just buy quick disconnects...
Yes, having no sway bars (front and back) will help you flex more, just make sure your brake lines can take it.
But with that amount of lift, and no sway bars, that thing will be a death trap on road, hence the quick disconnects, sway bars when you need 'em, and none when you need to flex.

Just make sure you have a cutting tool handy (angle grinder, sawzall...). When I did mine, most of the frame mount bolts broke the nuts free off inside the framerail and I had to cut the bolts.

im gonna have my shop do it but there doing it for free. i got some other stuff i need done to the jeep so im just gonna have em do everything for me. they do most of the stuff for free
SO do you guys think that taking both of them off you will just flip with the slightest turn?? Both of mine are long gone and i can still take left hand turns at 35-40, but why would you even need to go that fast around a sharp turn. I understand the whole if someone pulls out infront of you thing but i have had that happen to me and i was going about 40 and didnt tip. Plus its kinda fun.

my buddy has no links fornt or rear. was doing donuts on a mall parking lot, flipped over like a top. so much body roll is what does it.
