Default Sway Bar Quick Disconnects

I am thinking about putting some quick disconnects on my sahara. I have a 2.5" teraflex BB and am running 35's. I am not looking to break the bank, so I found these by rough country.

Do I need rear disconnects as well, or do you really only need front disconnects?

only need front disconnects but you may need some longer rear sway bar links on the rear. JKS makes a nice adjustable one.

You should be fine with those. Not a bad price either. You only need fronts.

Same lift height, same tires, same disconnect. Works fine. Make sure you have enough bumpstop first time you disconnect or you will rub fenders. Also I've had the bolts that attach to the sway bar loosen up once or twice. A little locktite would be a good idea

As mentioned, just disconnect the front...

I use the Teraflex front quick disconnects and I really like them. Word to the wise though, if you are running stock or close to stock back spacing, don't bother installing the mount it comes with the stow it out of the way. It brings the sway bar up WAY too high, and it will rub. The new design of this disconnect has all rounded edges, so you're not going to shred a sidewall like days past, but I just velcro them out of the way level with the frame. Works good.

Any disconnect you get make sure and keep it lubed up, or you will catch hell getting them on and off. On top of hitting the grease fitting just slightly each time I disconnect, I spray a little WD-40 on the pin before I try to slide it on. Works like magic.
