If you're stock you'll be fine, they're made for that.

If you've got any lift or are not sure, test with a buddy. Disconnect and have one of your front wheels climp something, check the flex on the other wheel to see. It seems that 1" or so you're still fine, approaching 2" a full flex puts your lines in jeopardy.

Here is the Swaybar Disconnect that I installed


Here they are connected:



Here is the clevis pin match welded to the frame:



Here are some photos of the sway bar when disconnected and pinned out of the way:





I just used hair pin cotter pins, clevis pins (2/5" x 7/16) and washers.

Thank you! I just did a trial run disconnecting for the first time and got a little jammed up when that first bolt wouldn't come out. You just made my weekend alot easier.
