So I was wondering if removing the front sway bar would affect the suspension. I know they only adjust for roll. However removing it, wouldn't you get a lil more travel while off roaming the trails? Thanks for any input

If your running on stock suspension, lifted or not, i would not recommend it. I especially wouldnt if you are lifted. You'll sway even more and it'll fill like its tipping over in the corners.
If you are lifted or leveled with coilovers, or 5100's with them on the second setting or higher (or updated coils) i would say try it.

Mack is right, no need to remove your wheels to remove the endlinks. I ran without a sway bar for three days with my spindle lift and 5100's on middle perch, it wasn't a bad ride but it definitely leans more when turning and if you turn the steering wheel back and forth quickly while going 10-?? mph it feels like a boat. For now it's back on but I might remove it again after I install my ICON coilovers.

U can remove endlinks with wheel on, just need skinny open end wrench to go on shaft nut between inside of endlink and ratchet on nut.

Ah, that may explain things. I was using my impact wrench and probably a deep well socket. Neither of which would have fit between the end link and the tire.
Ok so I have a 2" spacer and my 5100's just came in the mail yesterday and will be installed very. Should I go ahead and ask them to take off the sway bars and try it? I don't off road that much maybe once a month if that, and when I off road I mainly just do doughnuts. So would this be good or bad?

You don't need to take off your sway bar. It won't hurt anything if you remove it but you might get unwanted lean in the turns and since you don't do much offroading i would leave it on.
