It will give a little more wheel travel on each corner.
The only thing that sway bars do is to TRY to keep to other corner level in a turn. It does this by transferring the down force from one side of the axle to the other.
If you remove the sway bars, the vehicle leans more in the turns. Without them, there is more individual wheel travel. How much more depends on the suspension type. There is also the possibility of wheel hop if the shocks are bad or worn.
If this rig is for the road, keep the sways, and if you remove them, save them for later reinstall.
I took out the front sway bar on my 88 Bronco II when I got 31" tires, 'cause they rubbed. Planning to remove it again on the new one when I get to doing the front end lift.
Also pulling out the back one at that point, and getting a limiting strap...
But my truck is not a DD. It only drives on roads to get to/from the trails...
driving slowly around corners becomes a must with the added body roll, especially with some lift raising the center of gravity.
my truck is lifted 6" on 33s I DD it all over the city, drove 5 hours to moab wheeled all weekend and drove back, also drive the windy canyon highways to the trail here in Colorado..... I pulled my sway bars back before I lifted it and havent had them on since. Helped flex, minimal body roll blah, blah, blah. Unless you tow alot I see no reason not to yank them out and add them to the scrap pile.
