Yeah thats what I was going to say. Looks like you are being limited by the sway bars because you have a fair amount of space between the rear tire and wheel well. You will get more sway especially if you remove the front one so go with some sort of disconnectable set up for the front links. The rear bar may not affect you too much but like Bennedict found out in Penn. you need the sway bars to pass inspection so if you remove the rear don't throw it out. Your set up almost exactly like mine. (See signature)
Heres an example, Front is disconnected and rear is off

the whole debate about the rear sway bar affecting the handling of your truck comes down to one thing.
do you tow with it?
nice flew btw pj.

which I have 2" longer than stock shocks. the sway bars are built to flex as much as the suspension can handle (not counting shocks) the axle still has the freedom to move up or down as it is possibly capable. same with the control arms up front. the sway bars are meant to keep both wheels at the same position so the axle or the control arms don't become unbalanced from one another. For people like me and others that do a lot of off roading it is actually better to have the front and rear sway bar attached, because without those your axle can move and that is a really rough ride. similarly with the front. and also you need sway bars to pass inspection for these same reasons. Plus its really scary driving 65 passing trucks on the highway with no sway bars. imo safety >>>> a little more suspension flexibilitythis is with no sway bars. I can still do that with my front and rears attached. I may have to take another picture... I drove up and over that hill after this was taken
