Another vote for yes. If you off road enough get the quick disconnects.

The age old discussion of the anti sway bars... Don't need them... that's my vote.

Honestly I've driven with and without and felt no difference. If anything you get more travel without them.

sway bars are awesome, on vehicles that corner
lifted trucks with big tires, and probably no re-gear, don't corner

spend the money would have spent on the swaybar kit and get a steering stabilizer kit. it will be more useful in controlling the bigger tires when they try to follow the groves in the road.

I find that hard to believe. I almost flipped my mothers Amigo taking a simple turn. That's when I realized the sway bar was missing. Way safer after I put one back on.
