I'm goin to call someone out when they make a dumb comment, its not safe and not smart to go barless. I don't care who you are! I sure as hell wouldn't want someone swerving all over the place and hit me cuz they think its safe to drive w/o swaybars do you?

God I hate seeing this type of info... Look man, your not the cause, just the target this time, so try not to be too offended..
It's easy to compensate for different vehicle characteristics such as a taller vehicle, one with softer suspension or a narrower wheel base, just to name a few. The issue isn't that you need to compensate for the body roll, the issue is that in an unforeseen emergency situation, say preforming an evasive steering maneuver, the lack of suspension stability will cause excessive body roll. This will cause increased oversteer. Together, this causes the vehicle to go sideways with a lot of centrifugal force and thanks to all that body roll, the centrifugal force causes to COG to be higher, much higher... All this equals roll over.
This is why they make disconnectable sway bar links!! This exact situation! Yo can go down the highway with safety, then get to the trail, disconnect, flex out off road then reconnect and back to stability...
Not to mention legality. Crash your ride And wait for the authorities to find out your running illegal suspension... God help ya if you hurt someone...
Ok... That was my .02

OK thx, guys i contacted rough country they are AWESOME he asked me to email him pics i did the next day he called me and says he is shipping me drop brackets free of charge.....
NOW on to the sway bars i do plan on getting quick disconnects for the front however as far as the rear one goes i dont know what to do if i could get opinions that would be great
i read a bunch of back and forth about the front but how much will i be affected by running no sway bar in the rear?
Thanks,
Mike

Pull the back one. I have not heard from a single person that the rear does any good. It's just too thin, and some xjs never had them to begin with straight from the factory. I yanked mine and can't tell it's gone. I do run discos up front.
