JKS adjustable swaybar links...these are not the quick disconnects. Wondering if they work well with the e-disco...

You can actually get more articulation by removing the links instead of just using the button. I've got a friend with a Rubi and we pushed it to see how much farther it would go without the links in place. It went far enough that we now disconnect the links fully instead of just using the button.

Yes, but I don't want to have to remove the links eveytime I go wheeling. I just want to be able to push the little button and not have to worry about it.

For me, they were a nice backup. The Rubi sway bar is not known to be super reliable. So I had quick disconnects so that I could always manually disconnect if I never needed to.

These are not the quick discos. They are adjustable and I'm looking for a solution to not have to manually disconnect. I paid for the e-disco and would like to use it.
Thanks for the replies though!!

Ahhhh okay. Well in that case those should be just fine. Just adjust them so that your sway bar has good geometry (parallel at ride height or very slightly past parallel). But yes adjustable links should work fine.

They'd work great for that purpose. My post was to inform you that there is more travel to be had if (down the road) you decide to disconnect them without the button. I'm not sure how extreme your wheeling is but if you get to that point, now you'll know you have that option.

Ok thanks. Yeah I had thought about it before but just want to be able to push a button. Getting a little lazy the older I get I guess...lol

I don't know the price difference, but just because you put in the manual disco's doesn't mean you would have to use them in lieu of the button.
