haha perfect explination, i have a 3" rancho lift and no front sway bar with 31s yeah its got a little body roll and maybe a slighttttt hint of dw at about 50 (gotta change a ball joint) but i love it disconnected and wouldnt have it any other way, driving on crappy streets is the most fun you just rock back and forth like your anchored out on a lake and boats are goin by

I have a stock 95 and one day I was driving and hit a big bump cause they were tearing the road up and it snapped my front drivers side end link. The next day I pulled them both off because they were now useless and I couldn't really tell that big of a difference. It's been like this for 7 months and If anything i like the way handles better now.

So without the sway bar it is very hard to get the jeep to slide/drift on gravel/dirt.
