I personally would never remove the rear swaybar for what very minimal difference if any it would make. One option though, I use Full Tractions HD rear sway bar, and JKS adj end links. Swaybar has 3 mounting positions for stiff on-road, to more flex off-road. I'm surprised more people don't use these

Very few of the 30-40 vehicles I've owned even came with a rear sway bar. The exceptions have been sports or performance cars. I've added a few but never removed one.
If Jeep put one on the back of the JK they must have had a reason. Maybe it helps ESC and Traction Control work better? Its a much lighter bar than the stock front bar, and lighter than the aftermarket bars I've added to other vehicles.
Does anyone even make a rear disco? Might be worth a try if a person wanted longer links to level the bar on a lifted rig.

Quick cornering, or an evasive maneuver like to avoid a deer is where a anti-sway bar it's really noticeable for a comparison test -- and I'm sure you already know the safety issues...

I don't run a rear sway bar this is on a 2.5" lift and super long shocks.

Any major issues without the rear swaybar?

Another user of this swaybar. Made a huge difference onroad, but didn't affect flex off-road. The little lady drives it daily and commented how much better it handled after. This bar and the stocker didnt limit flex with my 12" shocks or current c/o setup. I didnt like the stocker on my JKU on 37s w/3.5 lift. I cant see why anyone would want to remove it.
