My seat-of-the-pants input is that I prefer on-road driving with the 
anti-sway bar installed.  I ran a 4" lift w/ 33s, and noticed on windy 
roads leading to a trail head that the Scout leaned significantly more 
in the turns w/o the anti-sway-bar than it did w/ it.  I preferred the 
"with it" on-road handling.

My SOA and RS'd Scout leans in the turns a good bit.. heck, just 
grabbing the rollcage and leaning back while standing on the rocker 
makes the body roll significantly.. but then, that was sorta the idea. :D

I've ramped my 4" w/ Sway-bar scout a few times, with the bar both on 
and off.. I don't think it made a significant impact on the end result, 
but it did seem to determine how much the body leaned while going up the 
ramp.  The anti-sway bar didn't make enough of a difference on the ramp 
that I ever bothered to disconnect it after the first time. :)
