I was looking it today and realized that the traction bars are going to be really close to the sway bar. I am thinking about removing the sway bar, think the traction bar will act as sort of sway bar too...is this a bad idea?

You can remove the sway bar if you want, not all trucks are optioned with them. No, traction bars will not act as a sway bar.

Will there be a big difference after I remove the sway bar?

You will notice if you have a camper in the bed. Otherwise, probably not.
