Definitely keep in mind what lift (if any) you will install in the future - there are two reasons i can think of off the top of my head:
1. you dont want to buy disconnects too short for the lift you ultimately install
2. some lift kits actually include disconnects.
Personally, i went with the wrench and zip tie method until I knew what I wanted to do. It is also super easy to do.

How much flex is possible when you leave the swaybar connected? I'm new to the Jeep world and I'm just thinking, when it's not needed why bother. It would be good to know when and where. Thanks.

As long as you can get to level ground, reattaching sway bar end links manually isn't difficult. That said, the 150 is worth it.....and in the grand scheme of things this will be seen as a cheap upgrade!

First thing I did was the JKS Quicker Disconnects. Super easy to install. Just do yourself a favor and take the front wheels off before you even start....makes life soooooo much easier. Once you install them once, it takes all of 30 seconds to take them off before hitting the trails and a minute to put them back on. Only sucky part is putting them back on after wheeling and your Jeep is covered in mud and muck....have a pair of gloves.
Other than that, I'd invest in skid plates before a lift. You'll always need the skids, and wheeling stock is pretty damn impressive as it is.
Cheers.

I just bought a 07 2DR JK. All ive done so far is 33s and a hardtop (brawler lite bumper in the mail). I got my JK because I want to get into off roading and always have been obsessed with Wranglers. Anyways...I want my jeep to do what this badass jeep is doing in the pic. Where do i start?!? Please help!
P.S. I am new to ALL of this and pretty much working on cars in general. Simplify if you canAttachment 140818

You want to be a poser and drive up on a rock?
As stated above you can do that now with your swaybar off. if you still can't do it, it would be because your track-lok rear isn't working.
It won't take you much at all to make your JK more capable. Just add some disconnects for your front swaybar. I believe you are already running 33's. Spend your next money on body protection or lockers...
