Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have been told that removing my sway bar from the IFS on my '97 hilux that it would help droping in and out of ruts and give it more travel!
is this true or false and will it cause any problems to any part of the car? it also sounds illegal

yes it will help you a bit as for being legal or not i can't help you all i know is that when i took mine out it was a lot softer going into bends on the road
