Any sway bar disconnects you would recommend for a 2012 sport?

I have a 2011 Sport and use JKS quicker Discos....I've had them for about 3 months and they seem to be holding up just fine. I really enjoy offloading much more, now that I can disconnect. I never realized how much softer things feel, while off the "paved road".

The only thing I don't like is that they are designed to be completely removed when disconnected and u will need to zip tie the sway bar, to prevent it from moving up or down (I'd be more concerned about it moving down and getting in the way during intense points of articulation). Nevertheless, the JKS discos seemed to be a little more "beefy" and that's why I got them vs Rough Country or Rock Krawler's quick discos.

You can't go wrong with JKS quicker disconnects.

if you don't off road much I would just buy a long 18mm wrench (so you have enough torque to get the bolt started) and an 18mm gear wrench (so you can ratchet the bolt off when it gets loose) and some zip ties... but I can only get out every 6 or 8 weeks so spending the time to unbolt them manually isn't that big of a deal and if you have the right tools the bolts come off fast.

edit: I just unbolt the bottom bolt of the links. Then zip tie the links to the sway bar... then I zip tie the sway bar to the frame in a horizontal position... there is a hole in the frame you can run a long zip tie through to get the sway bar horizontal and I just zip tie it on one side... I haven't every really done anything too hard core but thats how I disconnect my jeep and others sports and it hasn't been a problem.

running jks quicker disconeects on my '12 sport. they are awesome. they have a set for 0-2" lift and 2.5"-6" or something. so the issue is if u are not lifted YET and plan on lifting u will need a new set later. they install easily and disco smoothly.Click image for larger version

I'm partial to the TF ones. They have a 'park post' for the sway bar when disconnected. I don't have to screw around with tie wraps or whatever to secure it. Quick and easy. Dig it.

That sucks. I have flexed mine as far as it would go and no problem.
