This is a good suggestion. But, you don't need QDs in order to disconnect the front sway bar. Just take along the necessary wrenches and manually do it and tie the sway bar up out of the way--some folks use bungie cords, others zip-ties. When you by QDs, consider the Terflex storage pins for the disconnected sway bar. They sell them separately from the QDs, if you decide on another brand of QD that doesn't come with provision for stowing the disconnected sway bar (and most don't--they expect you to tie it out of the way). Once you add a coil lift and other mod's, you'll have even more flex. But, even stock these are quite capable rigs. Mine ...

Here is mine when it was bone stock and still on the little 225 street tires and steelies.


You'd be amazed at what these things can accomplish in stock form. Add good tires and a small lift and it will impress you even more.

I'm gonna do a lift once I pay off the credit card from wheels tires and bumper. Probably 2.5 or 3 inch.

Well butter my back side and call me a biscuit!
So its that easy huh?..All I would have to do is undo the bottom bolt then just rotate it upwards and tie it to something? Is there a writeup on how to do that? But I was checking mine just right now and noticed on the passenger side its missing a bolt and the nut is kinda crooked Should I just get a bolt for now or would it be a good excuse to convince the wife for me to buy some TF diskos? I do plan on getting a 3" lift later....or should I just wait till I get a lift?

Pics and everything! I don't see how your wife could say no to that safety concern! Looks like you can't just thread on another bolt anyway with the stud bent and the threads are probably messed up.

I'd bet it's cheaper to purchase a pair of JKS disconnects that go to the stealership to buy just one replacement OEM end link...that's my

What's the difference between long arm and regular suspension?

Nice lookin rig!!
