Obviously removing it is cheaper than adding the disconnect kit. Removing it costs nothing but time. You can put it back in.

To add to that, if you’ve indeed got a set of stiff front springs, which I agree it does look that way, the front sway bar likely isn’t doing that much for you anyway. The spring rates are probably high enough that body roll isn’t as much of a concern. I know it’s a bit of a debated topic but Really I don’t see the need for them in most leaf spring front end applications. There’s a few /situations like with a heavy over roof camper or something similar where the sways are helpful. The 67-72 K trucks never had them and I’ve never driven one and said, “damn I really need a sway bar”. With coil springs or IFS they are a pretty important part of highway manners for sure.
