Just picked up a nice used 98 TJ to use for some wheeling so I don't have to take my 12 JK. Plus I took the back seat out for my dogs. My question is about the rear sway bar. I am only putting a 2 inch lift and 31's on it because it is a four banger. It has open diffs so I want as much articulation as possible. Ordered disconnects for the front but am thinking about losing the rear bar all together. Has anyone taken off their rear sway bar and if so is it very noticable on the road and does it help much offroad ?
