Rear Swaybar - leave off?

So I just installed Toytec's 3" Boss lift with some LR UCAs. Due to a time crunch and the unwillingness of a Swaybar link to cooperate with me, I finished the job and chose to leave the rear Swaybar off. My thought was to re-assess after driving and decide from there whether I would put it back on again. So far, I don't notice a lot of difference. Anybody have just the rear off and want to provide any feedback?

With stiffer shocks, you probably won't notice it is gone, most of the time. If you want to see where it will make the biggest difference, do an emergency lane change at higher speeds.

THAT I notice! Did some little swerves on the pavement at a faster speed and definitely noticed the change.
 
Sway bars were invented to make middle aged women, who started to buy SUVs in droves starting in the 90s, less skittish about wallowing body motions when the damn things started to change direction.

Some argue that their purpose is to keep catastrophic rollovers and loss of control from happening when attempting heroic high speed avoidance maneuvers. I say that there is little chance in hell, from a Physics standpoint, that an off road vehicle/SUV can safely and competently attempt such maneuvers with or without sway bars in the first place.

Of course if you shoot upside down, sideways, and on fire through three buses full of special needs children, nuns, and puppies on their way to a telethon, don't blame me.
