JKS here, no complaints. Just pull the pins, ziptie the sway, and flexxxxxxxxxxx!

I run JKS as well and love them. Easy to install and disconnect. The hardest part of the install was getting the old ones off

Just go to lowes or tractor supply and get two grade 8 7/16"x 2.5" Clevis pins, 4 washers and 2 gold hitch pins and call it a day. $5 disconnects no problems. $100-150 disconnects are such a waste of money in my opinion

Great set-up you have. Rough Country's are only $59 new. And I got my fancy ones from a member on here for cheap.

Interesting... How long have you been running with this set up? This looks really interesting and might save me a few bucks... might even get my C-gussets finally welded on. I'll look into it, also thanks for the PM. I was about to pull the trigger.

This is the second jeep I've done it too and know others who run them as well, no problems. Only thing is they SOMEtimes might jingle going over bumps on the street but what the hell, it's a jeep right. For the price I just keep an extra bolt, washers and pins in my tool bag just in case one would break but no issues. Edit: the Clevis pin itself is grade 8, that isn't breaking. The hitch pins from lowes might wear out/ stretch from taking them in and out every weekend, but the gold ones from tractor supply are much Better

Thanks again of the quick reply. I'll look into this sometime this weekend.
