In offroading, you want your tires to droop to the ground when the other side is lifted (by, say doing this):
A sway/antiroll bar connects the axle by the wheels to the frame (acting like a stiffer spring/shock combo). This limits how far you can droop.
With disconnects, you can "disconnect" the sway bar for offroad use.

Yeah, if you had a super flexy setup (like a camburg long travel setup). A quick disconnect sway bar would probably help the on road manners a lot.

So did you end up getting it? I am looking at the Hellwig front and rear. On the Hellwig website they have an "offroad" category of sway bar. I don't know if it's actually intended for offroad use or just designed for lifted trucks.
