Take the sway bar off and throw it in the trash.

It really isn't a big deal. At first it may seem strange but once you drive it a while you don't even realize it is gone. I would unbolt it drive it around a while and if you can't stand it hook it back up. I had an IFS truck that was my daily driver and I took it off with no problems.

Solid axle you will never even know it is gone. My 83 has never had a sway bar since I owned it. Trash the sway bar.

Rid the sway bar unless you plan on doing high speed cornering. It will help you suspension move.
