I was being a bit obtuse with the last post (silly me).
The rear swaybar is skinny for a reason. Soft ride with little bump steer. If you tow then retain this bar as is. No need to stress about this unit. Want a stiffer rear then go get a set of Rancho adjustable.

Front is another matter. This bar enables your Jeep to stay controlable.(word/spelling?) Again the sway bar is a compromise for comfort and handling and it ties in with the rear. If you want to improve the ride then forget it - it rides VERY WELL for A 4X4 (NOTE 4X4).

If you need better handling then look at stiffer shocker settings. Just don't bother going off road....

Another trick is to stuff a set of air bags in the rear end. This will stiffen up the ride, enough the make the CD start to jump.

If your truck is not responding well "on road" next step would be a front end alignment - soon....also check all your control arm rubbers and track bar rubbers.

OzJeeper, Thanks for that
I just put new tyres Wrangler SR/A's and Rancho RSX (one size fits all variety) and did a wheel alignment all wthin a few days, and WOW what a difference, no more wobble and it turns when I say turn. Not sure if its the tyres alone or the shocks but what the hell, it improved the handling and the general feel. Not sure if a steering stabaliser/dampner is necessary as Im not a wild offroader.... more the dirt, sand, burbs type so far.
