Swaybars when disconnected
 
Hat do you guys do with your sway bars when disconnected? I've read some swing them up. But then I read that's how u puncture your sidewalk. Others wrote u secure them parallel with the frame. What's the right way on a jk. Thanks post pics if u got them

I have rubicon express sway bar disconnects and they do not hav a bracket to mount them up out of the way. So I got some teraflex brackets and installed them to day only to find out that my swaybars wont reach. so unles I do some custom fab looks like I will be useing bungie cord to strap it to the frame.

I have jks disconnects I wonder if mine would work with the teraflex set up... Anyone else have input on what they do with their swaybars

Swing them up parallel to the frame and zip tie them to the sway bar

I have JKS discos, pull them off, and my sway bar bushings are tight enough that the bar stays put after I pull it up and out of the way. The people I see having problems are still running stock wheels.

Long time JKS disconnect user...I use a long zip tie to secure the swaybar to the frame. Never had an issue with aftermarket wheel / tire contact.

This is the zip tie I use...

24" Heavy Duty Cable Ties, 10 Pack

Your right now that I think about it.. All the puncture photos I seen had stock wheels

This is what I do when I diconnect them and have had no issuess doing it this way. The sway bar bushings are strong enough to hold the bar in place so it doesnt fall down.

Thanks for the info

I strap them to the front body mount. Well over 1000 miles offroad last year and no problems
