Well, I've already removed my rear sway bar to compensate for the home made suspension lift I put on, but what about the front?

I know that it is the enemy of my articulation, but are there any downfalls to its removal? Thanks.

All I can say is, drive without it for awhile. You be the judge, IMHO keep it. At times coming off the trail I have ran without it. I can tell a difference, I like having it and disconnects are not the expensive or hard to make.

quick discos?

Being budget conscience that I am, can quick disconnects be made, or do they have to be bought? If they can be fab'd, how so?

They don't have to be as complicated as this. In your case finding I believe 90 or later disconets and using a wing nut and a bolt like I have at the bottom would work just perfectly.

Try searching the board for Homemade disconnects, you should be able to find a couple good writeups.

Spring rate has a lot to do if it is safe for the street

I run no sway bars, but I believe it is not too unsafe because of the stiff springs.

Check out the specs of this set-up:
