From my experience in addition to the mentioned fitment variations from factory.
Re: articulation reduction with swaybars.
IMO Perspective needs to be had here.
Any concerns about reduced articulation should be considered against any suspension mods and serious regular low range work. Ive watched some spend poorly on suspension choice and remove swaybars only to achieve the same level of articulation as the original suspension with swaybars. But it looked cool a few inches taller.
For the most part IMO 95% of 4wd in any make would be lucky to see more than 100km of genuine low range and max articulation in their lifetime and for most folks, concerns about articulation loss are typically never realised, however, some owners feel more confident by having removed swaybars or fitting disconnects according to their planned use.
So as already mentioned unless hard core all the time (which isnt typical for even remote travel around the country) sway bar removal or disconnects isnt worthwhile for most vehicles.
Since the question was asked about fitting swaybars.
Most important, as already mentioned, make sure shocks and springs are suited for intended main purpose and in good condition as the first priority.
If you still arent happy then fit the bars.
If at all worried about articulation leave them off.
At the end of the day its always a compromise if you want the vehicle to perform brilliantly on either end of the spectrum.
