I am REALLY not impressed with these KYB Monomax shocks; they're rough as hell & just don't soak up the bumps or control motions as well as the Bilsteins did. I'm going to have to check out the warranty & see if they'll let me return them...

Simple facts:
swaybar = less body roll = safer handling
quick discos can be disco'd and re-attached in 30 seconds/side and cost $30 to make

FYI for anyone considering KYB Monomax shocks:
25,000 miles on them now and while they've settle down, they still aren't what the Bilsteins were.

Please tell me you are going to get a set of Bilsteins so as not to suffer needlessly for another 25,000+ miles.

Not to hijack but...
Howzit Joel - do you have anything that is specifically tuned for rock crawling (like ARB / old man emu) versus at 'desert speed'? Just curious because the PO put skyjackers on mine and thats how my rig sits now. Haven't really cared to change them yet becuase its not a DD just a weekend warrior on the trails.

Convert to a 9100 coilover up front and Ill put the King of the Hammers spec magic in for you. 
Other than that there is the new swivel hose 5160 for the rear which is very good and can be converted to revalvable.
