Default Quick discos for my disco... & what else?

Alright, so I'll be picking up my DI in a week or two. My first off road adventure will be in the Black Hills of South Dakota during Holy Week (The week before Easter) with my in-laws who all own Jeeps. My Disco is stock, with the exception of the nearly 32" BF Goodrich A/Ts.

My question is, What can I do to a stock DI to improve it's articulation? I assume quick disconnects, but is there anything else? Who's quick discos should I buy? I do expect to put a 2"-3" lift on it some day, but not this year, so anything I can improve would be helpful.

With 32" tires on a stock D1 you probably want to leave your sway bars connected. Even narrow 7.50x16 32's will rub.

I removed my sway bars about 8 years ago and never put them back.

I forgot what metric size they actually are. I wrote it down, but lost it. When I plugged it into a tire sze calculator, it came up at about 31.5" in diameter. Again, I don't remember the exact number.

I took the rear sway bar off my last Jeep. I noticed more body roll, but I was OK with it... My wife, however kept complaining about how she felt like she was going to tip over when she drove. So I put it back on. I'm assuming the same will happen with the Disco!

Yes, there is more body lean. It doesn't bother me, but I can see how it would some people. I'm sure sometimes people behind me are thinking, "WTF?!" but I know my vehicle and how close to the limit I can take it.
7.50x16" are about 32" but narrower than any same OD metric that I know of off hand.
