I've fitted an OME 2" lift with front sway-bar disconnects:
Sway bar connected
Sway bar disconnected
Not a great deal of difference, I leave them connected most of the time unless I'm on a really nasty track.
I use my car for a fair bit of touring so much prefer to have the sway bar connected, you can drive without it but its not ideal.

by the look of the 2 pic. I'd say that the limiting factor is the shock length, that is why you see minimal difference

Agreed - can see what appears slightly more compression on the front, but no real difference in the travel of the rear ...

Can some one tell/show me what a manual sway bar disconnect is?
I have hear about them but I just do not understand it.

there is a lever next to the the driver seat. if you dont have one you need to buy disconnects from superior engineering. you need to get under the car to disconnect them. as good as they are I found them abit useless when disconnected as the became the lowest point of the vehicle. I like driving rock and ruts. more technical stuff and they were just asking to get ripped off

To get maximum articulation, you need:
1. Replace the front radius arms as they bind up. Something like the superiour engineering superflex radius arms
2. Replace the rear lower control arms with longer links and a new welded chassis link, again superiour engineering have a kit
3. Remove anti sway bars or use quick disconnects
