i have a 2 wheel drive 97 sport and im thinking about taking the sawy bars off for more articulation. my questions are.

how dangerous is it on the road with no sways?

and

if im 2x4 does taking the sway bars off help in keeping the rear wheels on the ground and making it easier to climb more technical terrain?
hold it wide and let it slide!

if you take off the front sway bar it will be very dangerous on the road. When we did our lift I left off the front sway and it would roll if you turned hard. Was really wobbly. But you can lose the rear if you have one.

don't be scared of having no sway bars on the road, i mean if you hit big enough pot holes you'll get some death wobble issues but just slow down a bit.

I agree with bloselogging, it is a jeep not a race car, but I highly recommend leaving them on
It's a Jeep thing, not even I understand...

EITHER USE FABRICATE MOUNTS FOR TRUCK SHOCKS (MACK, PETE, K.W...) 7 STICK EM ON OR DOUBLE UP YUR SHOCKS. WILL RIDE LIKE A 2X4 ON ROLLER SKATES BUT SHOULD SOLVE THE NO SWAY BAR ROLL ISSUE.

I have a 4x4 and I have a 4.5" lift and no sway bar. I drive it everyday everywhere including on the freeway. I just take turns slower.

Been driving my XJ with 6.5" lift and 34" LTB's with no sway bar front or rear for 4 years now. Don't notice any swaying back and forth on the highway. I've had it up to 85 mph also without being a bit worried.
