I removed my sway bar today completely. Man I don’t know why I waited so long. It rides so much better. Not sure if they are any issues this can cause but hopefully not because even the wife could tell the difference.

Same here, just heard others say to be easier on fast turns. For my slow bumpy trail riding, very pleased with disconnected.

I haven’t done this yet on either machine because I drive so aggressively. I’m interested in everyone’s thoughts on whether or not sway bar removal could be compensated for with the addition of wheelspacers

I was trying to find a good engineering video to show the mechanics behind an anti-sway bar and why I won't remove mine. It's the same reason as @Eltobgi , I drive too aggressively and it makes a big difference between rolling or not, especially in a 500 because you're full throttle into turns just to keep up. As for the question, wheel spacers would make a difference because you're widening your stance, but you'll need to do some math or testing to see which spacers you need. They may have to be 24".
I did find this video from Shock Therapy where they perform the same type of testing we can do... field. They tested stock RZR anti-sway bars vs. the system they sell. You can see it makes a huge difference.

Feeling the extra roll is a bonus! The ASB makes it feel too rigid and abrupt, by the time you feel it you're going over. It puts the rear suspension in handcuffs too and makes for a sh**y ride. Free up the suspension and widen the stance until it feels good. Won't feel as tight slinging corners but makes it better in every other situation.
