Question for those of you that have removed the front sway bar; did your steering become jumpy after it was removed? I pulled mine a few nights ago after replacing the upper ball joints and now every bump that I go over the steering jumps to either side. I know this is a rear thread, but it's most recent.

If I put a 2.5" lift on my 2021 ORP should I switch out the end links or adjust them somehow?

No it should have no impact on that, Swaybars counter body lean.

I'm running EXT travel KINGS with sway bars still on.. doesn't seem that the sway bar is limiting the shock travel. Mine is the KDSS version though.

I would never remove my sway bars for anything other than a mostly dedicated off-road vehicle mainly for safety purposes. Especially for highway driving.

Yes a good shock setup will compensate a bit for body control and still drive fine without them, under most 'normal' conditions. However, if you ever have to make an emergency brake maneuver, you would quickly realize how horrible your lifted truck handles, with a high chance of losing control and flipping over.

Living in an area with so many idiots on the highway, I'm keeping mine on.
