on vehicles so equipped, in particular the rear coil spring equipped runners, leaving the rear bar on stiffens the rear suspension when the rear wheels are at different heights thus transferring some weight to the front wheels to absorb the angles- it increases the tendancy of the front IFS suspension to flex.
I would argue though, cause if the right rear tire is being lifted, you don't want the front left wheel retreating into the fender... my opinion though, because that shifts your center of gravity to the left... unless the front left is being lifted too... and this it seems to me you'd be balancing on two tires.

Look at it the other way around then. Your left front tire is climbing a boulder, with no IFS flex, the rear does all the flexing and the truck tip the the right.

Besides, removing the rear swaybar can make you sterile. Everyone knows that.

This may sound weird, but on a 1st gen, is there anyway to make the rear more street able? Rear sway bar or something like that where you can easily take-off/disconnect when hitting the trails.

I've got a 1st gen with 63" Chevy's and 35"s. I know with this setup it is not street friendly, but anything that may help it be street able?

Stiffer shocks would help. Otherwise, you'd have to sway in a 4Runner axle and housing with swaybar mounts. It wouldn't be too hard to do. If you weld, you could just add them to your existing axle.

I've got brand new Pro Comps all around. You're saying I can weld a sway bar on my rear axle?
