Default Rear Sway Bar

Hey guys, I have a question...I have a 98 F150 4x4 and was wondering if the rear sway bar is ok to be removed? Does it affect it that much? Or would you recommend leaving it on.
I don't know if this matters for anything but it is lifted 5" and running 35's. I don't tow a whole lot, just trying to make it my off roader on the weekends.

Don't see any big problems, I asked this question a while back. Just don't take any stupid hard turns with it, although since you have a front sway bar, it won't be as big of an issue

No problem
It should have much better articulation. I'm just worried about interstate/fast turns for you.

What do you mean about the highway? Will it not be so stable at high speeds? I get the turning part, just have to take it easy, so I'll go slow there.
Also, If I do take it off, I heard that there's something as far sway bars go that you can put up front that will support the rear as well? I don't know what it's called, and I just heard about it during a random discussion some buddies were having. Do you know anything about that?

Well the rear sway bar isn't anywhere near as important as the front, so forget the highway thing lol
And I've never heard of that. Sorry /:
