The info you have about sway bars is also mostly true, a 1" rear sway bar is so stiff it will not allow the rear to flex and it is tough on the thin tin frame. I would imagine that even the 7/8" Addco that they recommend for use with a stock front sway bar would also limit flex. So if you drive even mild trails A rear Addco should be disconnected.
