I took mine off and reinstalled it later without jacking the truck. Just took the ends off and then the bar. It wasn't tough. Just know that you need two wrenches for the ends that hook to the LCA. The stud spins too.

Impact wrench with a little PBlaster works great. No spin unless you damaged the threads.

Didn't think about that. Good call.

Not 100% everytime but sure beats the 2 wrench BS.

One other tip. If you can use a ratchet wrench on one of the 2 its fairly fast as well.

took mine off yesterday, night and day difference in the desert. Is a little softer on the street in the front end, but nothing crazy like. you can diffidently feel the front end doing was it is supposed to be doing, being independent. Im leaving if off, the only way I would put it back on is if i am going to pull a trailer with weight on it.

I have had mine disconnected for years now. Its so much better and much more predictable off road. Only reconnect when im pulling a heavy trailer or high speed on road performance driving (twisty stuff).

Would there be a benefit of running a sway bar in the rear? not sure since its a leaf spring set up. i know there is with a linked truck.

It would help balance out some of the understeer (push)..
