A lot of people remove the rear bar (myself included). I noticed no difference without the rear.
Run discos in the front and you should be good. I cannot in good conscience recommend removing the front bar- sure some people claim to do it fine. I'm not going to go there or tell others to. :-)

I have run no rear sway on a daily driver jeep with about 5" of lift for 4 years w/o problem. I have noticed the rear is a bit squirley when towing heavy loads, but still manageable.

Drive your jeep around with and without the front sway bar. No sharp corners, hold on tight, and be careful. Spend a little extra on nice discos too. Cheap ones will break down and need to be replaced. I have a set of older JKS quick discos and they have held up well. Or get creative and make your own!
