You're asking your question about a TJ on a JK forum. There are some differences, but recommend you skulk around Google for info on the TJ front swaybar links. You're missing a bushing that should be there. Might be available from manufacturer of your lift. Might be better to just replace both links (one on each side): The other is probably getting pretty worn, too. FYI, with your lift you're going to want to get one of the proper length, if you decide to replace. But, here's a sample of what's out there ...

Is this dangerous if I drive it two more days without replacing?

That's just a sway bar link right? I mean, that's not causing the wobble. Obviously missing any bushing isn't great, but that is not triggering DW.

Dangerous? No. Would we encourage driving on it? Also no. If you need to make an emergency maneuver, the front will not respond as it should.
