Is it OK to disconnect your swaybar when offroading

Yup, you should get a little more travel with them disconnected. If you leave them disconnected on the road though, your steering is going to be more squirly and therefore dangerous. I don't know if these are available for our trucks, but there's a product called swaybar quick disconnects. They allow you to disconnect and reconnect the sway bar quick and easy.

They do make them for our trucks, look on eBay and you'll find them. I didn't know that was possible to disconnect that while off-roading even though I don't off-road that's a good thing to know

I've never quite understood anti-sway bars on a 4x4. My 350 even had (not has) one on the rear. Yes I know they reduce body roll while cornering, but if I wanted to run slalom courses I'd buy a sports car. The problem on a 4x4 is they take a lot of the "independent " out of independent front suspension.

An IFS with a swaybar still gives you better stability offroad than a solid axle. That depends on the vehicle though. It's hard to beat an early 80's Yota with a solid front axle. Although I would take a Dana 60 IFS any day of the week, but I digress.

Most people with 4wd drive on road more than off, so without the control consumers would be turned off.
