Thanks for the info guys! So it sounds like the JKS are well worth the upgrade. Where is the best place to buy them?

Regarding the Rubicon E discos, at the time I ordered my Sahara it didn't sound like something I'd use but given the option again I'd buy them for sure. Regardless, the few times I was on some decent trails in Sedona I was amazed at what I was able to do without ever disconnecting the sway bar!

I'm ordering some JKS quicker disconnects but won't be able to pick them up until I go back to the States. In the mean time, up to what speed is it ok to drive around with the anti-sway bar disconnected? Since I'm in a resort town I rarely ever go above 30 mph so am I safe to just leave them disconnected for now or could that cause poor handling or faster tire wear? Thanks!

Teraflex have been great. no noise, just have to make sure the jeep is sitting flat side to side to reconnect.

I drove home over 4 hours at highway speeds with the sway bar disconnected, but not advised! It is not good in sudden braking or manuevering situations. I took care to not follow too closely to anybody until I got home.

Where did you get your Teraflex disco's, Jeff? Anyplace local? I was thinking of installing a set before that Disney run.

If you do yank it. I will buy it

I have read, on this forum, that some people with Rubi's are bending their sway bar links when unlocked and turning at full flex. Dont know if this is true. But if so, it might be worth considering manual discos.

Your thoughts?
