Am I going to regret this...

just downsize your tires and be done with it. 235/85 if you want skinny or 265/75 if you prefer some width; same height just different widths...

I am actually running 235/85/16 Trxus MTs now

then just move to some ATs that are more street friendly (i.e. quieter). you're setup is great now.

don't you come from a mainly car-oriented background? a truck just takes some getting used to.

you won't get any significant improvement in gas mileage by switching back to stock

Yeah, I've owned and raced/autox quite a few different sports cars over the years. Not really looking to improve fuel mileage, just make it more comfortable and stable at highway speeds (65-75mph)

I am thinking that I may try it with some different tires, and putting the stock sway bars back on.

and putting the stock sway bars back on.

Try just doing this part first, I believe it is foolish to drive any vehicle on the highway without sway bars.

I agree with switching to an AT tire and putting the sway bars back on. Perhaps add some sway bar quick disconnects to the front.

Other than that you could also remove any extra trail gear that may normally live in your vehicle.

Going to swap some stuff around this coming weekend, I'll update when I do. My main goal/purpose for wanting a Land Rover is more for camping/beach driving than hardcore wheeling anyways, so I think that even if I do go back to stock it will still suit my needs perfectly.

There's nothing wrong with driving without sway bars, just drive accordingly. My 91 RRC came from the factory without sway bars and ABS for that matter. That truck was lifted 2 inches and ran 265/75/16 and then 235/85/16 with no problem at all, and as a plus you get more articulation.

I am thinking about converting my truck back to stock this coming up weekend, I really just don't do enough offroading to warrant the aggressive lift and tires, and I am going to be doing quite a bit of traveling this summer, and need the rover to have better highway manners, so this weekend stock springs, shocks, sway bars and stock sized (or close) tires are going back on it.

I really wish I could swing a 2nd vehicle but right now the Land Rover has to be good on road as well as off.

So am I totally going to regret it the first time I take it on some trails?

A picture of how it sits now...

Disco are good stock on most trails. I would just get all terrain tires and call it a day.

If money is tight, just put these sway bars on and try that first. Two sets of tires/rims is a good idea, but they cost money. Think of it this way, of your tires/rims cost you $750 dollar, that is (@$2.00 a gallon, 350 gallons x 10-12 mpg) 3750-4500 miles you could drive for free!!!!
