Sway bar question

I'm just curious what the advantages/disadvantages are about the sway bar? I hear that jeep guys will unbolt theirs before they go off roading, and just bungee it out of the way. I'm wondering if its something that I sould try. Also, if I just removed it, would it handle really bad on the regular roads?

All depends. If your not doing anything too crazy just leave it hooked up. What vehicle we talking about here?

It's a 2004 f250 4x4 V10. It just seems like it would ride better off road with it off, because if the front wheels are hitting bumps unevenly the body jerks around a lot.

They could limit articulation off road, thats why people unhook them on the trail.
