Default JKS discos with TF Frame End Bracket Kit

I already have the JKS quick disconnects but need a solution to hold the sway bar when disconnected. I know the bungee/zip tie method works, but want something more functional.

I was thinking of using the Teraflex end bracket kit that comes with the TF discos...

I went to ACE and bought some one inch cargo strap and buckles and and attached it to the frame with 2 large head aluminum rivets. Works perfect.

the only problem with going this route is that, depending on how big your tires are and how much backspacing you have, you may have problems with your sidewalls making contact with your links and/or storage pin at a full flex and while turning. this can lead to a blowout. i have seen it happen and, recommend agaist them.

How is this different from using the TF disconnects and the same end frame bracket?

Saw a guy using these last weekend. It looked pretty slick!

I have 285's with MB72's, wonder if I'd have the blow out issue. If not, it sure would beat out zip ties!
