Tell the wifey. Look dear this is unsafe and poses a potential hazard (do you want the insurance premiums to go up?) I called the factory and it's nearly the same price as the aftermarket ones that are adjustable (we'll never need to by them again!) plus look at what a cool job they do!! Then say it only makes since to buy the upgraded ones.

If you look closely you can see how I tied my swaybar to the hook on the front. Shoe lace works great.

Well I like the way you guys think! I will definetly tell the wife that its just better with the aftermarket ones (in reality I really think it is, but we all know how women think) Afterall, she can go off and buy a 300 dollar purse but they can't spend a couple hundred on a Jeep??? But will I have to go buy another set of diskos after I get a 3 inch lift?? (i'm still kinda new to this)

JKS Quick Disconnects are adjustable. They come in two base sizes for 0"-2" of lift and 2.5"-6" of lift. If it was my Jeep and I planned on lifting it down the road I would get the 2.5-6" ones and run the sway bar at an angle greater than 5 degrees from horizontal (you ARE NOT supposed to do this!)...but I would. Northridge4x4 stocks them for ~$148 and free shipping, where I got mine

Do you have to buy 4? Set for the front and back? Or do you just have to undo the front?

Currie antirock in the front. Works great and you don't have to unhook.

JKS are Adjustable and greasable and super easy to install and remove. They say -/+ 5 deg. I have mine level and no issues. As for the back no need to disconnect that.
