I on the phone so hard to look back through the thread but, I started to ask you the same question but think I stopped because since you have the 2WD I wasn't sure you had it.
I had wondered the same thing; it seems like it acts like an anti sway bar to some degree, and it seems odd to use the springs in a torsional way. Seems odd to me and if replacing springs it would beg the question. I spoke with a guy at the expo who had a custom box on his Kodiak made into a camper (and had a large live palm tree in a pot on his trailer (!!!).....he had removed the bar and felt strongly it should be. That's the only person I have had the conversation with. Can't remember if he had changed his springs but I THINK so. He said take it off.
I tend to agree but would probably want to confirm with others who know more, such as on the diesel place or a Kodiak knowledgable mechanic, or the folks at a spring shop.
Good luck, let me know what you find out if you would!
