I need some help ID'ing this component...

1. What is it called?
2. Is it stock or aftermarket?
3. What should I replace it with?

The drivers side connector is broken. It won't stay connected.
It's either a stock piece, or possibly from a BDS lift kit.
I have a 3" BDS lift, and I can't remember if it was a part of that or not.

I'm trying to decide if I should take it to the dealership and get it replaced (lifetime bumper-to-bumper ($100 deductable), or if it's part of the BDS lift kid (it has a lifetime warranty), or if i should just upgrade it to something new/better.

as of now, I have 35" tires, 3" BDS lift, rugged ridge XHD front bumper, & superwinch on a 4 door unlimited rubicon. if that helps.

Thanks.

That appears to be a BDS sway bar disco.

thanks for the quick replies, guys...

what is the risk of running around with that disconnected in the mean time?

Ummm... you could lose control while turning and bad things will follow.

Being disconnected is great for offroad, but lets the body roll too much for onroad. If you need to run disconnected for a while, you can. Just take it easy and keep the speed down, especially in corners.

I run disconnected all the time in a 4 door with 40's. I don't run on the highway though and take corners a little slower.

Why?!?! Disconnected eliminates the work the sway bar does.. Don't you notice the rig being very flighty?
