look for sway bar disconnects. go in place of the stock end links and by pulling 2 pins on each side you can disconnect the sway for trail riding, and reconnect it when you get back on the road.

Don't know about the new trucks but on the older models you just need to remove the nut from the through bolt, drill a hole in the bolt and insert a pin. Disconnects for less than a dollar.

Well, yes it'll probably "ride" great, but let's see you make an emergancy maneuver going 60mph. It can be very dangerous on a highway.

done it, at 80 mph with super soft (320ppi spring rate) custom deaver coils and deaver race pack rear. its not a ferrari dont drive it like one and u will be fine, its not like the sway bar is preventing uuber amounts of travel(we are talking 8-10" MAYBE) i ran a YJ with d60's 11" of lift and 38.5" boggers for a dd and no sway bars or track bars and it was fine).

Took mine off when I went offroading before and never put them back on. Drove highway all the way there and around town and thought it road better without.

Usually its the other way around.

You take a swaybar off the TTB, and its hardly missed, but you take it off a a-arm suspension Ranger and driving becomes scary.

I haven't had a sway bar on my truck in who know how long. And I drive 60 miles everyday to school and work. On the freeway mind you, 75mph next to everyone else.
