Actually, if you have a Rubicon, you will not want or need these disconnects as you will have the e-disco which works just as well if not better (i.e. you don't have to get your hands dirty and they will disconnect/reconnect at the touch of a button).

Just so you know, I installed these discos on Ctimrun's and NotMySonsJK's JK X and decided to do a write-up on them just in case anyone might be interested.

 

Im thinking of getting these for my stock JK X. I have one question though.
When the swaybar is disco'd, am I in danger of the axle flexing too much and breaking the break lines? Would I need longer lines if I run with the discos disconnected?

 

No, the factory front brake lines are long enough to handle a full droop up to about 3" of lift. Any more than that and you will need to get extension brackets or new extended brakelines.

 

Well, I decided to go the Homemade Disco route until I get the money for JKS Quicker Disconnects. I used the Clevis pins and carter pins. Works pretty well.

I had one Other Question.
Do you guys also disconnect the rear sway bar or should I always leave those connected? what are the pros/cons of disconnecting the rear as well, if possible?

Everywhere I search everyone just talks about front discos.

Thanks

 

Your rear swaybar is a lot softer and will flex plenty and so they do not need to be disconnected. In fact, leaving them connected will help provide stability on the trail. Optimally, keeping your front sway bar links connected would be the way to go on the trail as well but only if the torsion rate were soft like the rear. Currie Rock Jock has their Anti-Rock to do just this.

 

I have a set of these on order from Northridge 4x4, thanks for the writeup!

 

Dumb question (maybe)

Is there any added value of installing a set of these on the rear as well?

Thanks,
M.

 

nope. unlike the front which has a really thick sway bar, the rear is quite thin and very flexible. there is no need to disconnect the rear as it will not limit your flex and will actually offer stability.

 

OK. Good to know.
Thanks WOL.

Is there a difficulty in re-attaching after the trail of the quick disconnects?

WHat is the exact procedure?
