Bigwig disconnect?

I've heard it mentioned that for off-roading you should disconnect the anti-sway bar to allow the for side to side/ up down axle movement. I'm wondering if I disconnect mine would it improve the ride over rough city streets. How far do you disconnect? I assume back off the jam nuts. But how far, and does it slam around and damage the rubber snubbers?

    I would say the difference would be negligible just on rough roads, but it’s an easy experiment
    Just loosen them up or even remove the bottom nuts and hang the sway bar with some wire or rope for a test drive.
    Biggest bang for your buck is proper tire pressure if you haven’t already done that.
    Emtpy truck, 35-45psi rear and 50-55 front on stock size tires will soften up those manholes and bumps a bit.
