When my sway bar broke, I could definately feel a difference. I knew something didn't feel right. It just took me a few days to track down the problem.
But I also drive at highway speeds that aren't to be mentioned here. And I love twisty back roads.

I could see it not making much difference with the T-bars cranked up though, not much suspension droop to let the body roll.

I would make a set of quick disconnects like I made for the Jeep. Or at worst, replacement links can be removes in a couple of minutes when you go wheeling. Reinstalled in a couple more. It's only one nut per side if I remember correctly.

You can't just un-bolt it from the A-arms, its attached to the frame in two spots too. It should drop off when you remove all the bolts.
