Default Rear sway bar

Put a 4.5 inch RC Short Arm on and was wondering if there is anything lost by removing the rear sway bar? We put disconnects on the front links. his will also be a daily driver.

You will never miss it. Some XJ didn't even come with a rear swaybar.

No difference at all. Ditch it, it's there for no reason.

Agreed, I just took mine off this week and couldn't tell much difference except for more flex and it almost felt like a little bit smoother ride... could be my imagination though.
