I dont like the feeling fully disco'ed offroad or onroad. I keep the front off all the time now. Might try the fully discoed again with the stiffer rear set-up, but only offroad.
they've always worked for me.

I finally got around to measuring the available travel for my rear shocks. I sit around 21", 26" total length.
Also stopped by the brake fitting place. They're having some fun trying to get the right fittings. Hopefully I'll have some better news next week.
Another big project is in the works for the rear, too. It will be a few weeks though...

I completely removed my front swaybar and I don't even notice a difference while driving. I have stock springs to boot. I wish I'd done it a long time ago.

I did have them hooked up for the mountain driving to tecore and a couple weeks before. I can feel a difference even in my daily drive to work. It is not bad, but there is a difference even w the 88s. I was thinking of fully removing it, but it doesnt hurt anything and super twisty, up and down roads it is nice to hook them up.
they've always worked for me.

It would be nice to have some type of quick disconnect.

I Just discoed one side of each swaybar and tied the swaybard link up with bailing wire. It was quick and easy, and I really like it.

Someone needs to rebuild a locker! 
Also... I'm interested in how you mounted your recovery shackles... There's a lot of potential stress on those things.
