Easily one of the best additions to the Jeep for the $$. Run them with my RK lift and works like a charm when I need to disco.
As others have said though, make sure to secure the sway bar up with some bungee cords or a real heavy duty zip tie.

I just installed a set in my friends JKU on Thursday. Easy to go on, easy to adust and easy remove (but they are greasy, so bring something for storing them when you take them off).

I also installed the JKS adjustable front track bar. It was beefy! Also easy to install.

One side usually adjusts different from the other side, so mark them left / right. It'll help when you put them back on. And ya, they're greasy so keep a plastic bag for when you take them off.

I have had mine for years and was told by a jeep 4x4 shop to not to do that. To make sure they are adjusted the same on both sides. You want your sway bar to be straight on level ground. I would also recommend keeping a rubber mallet in your jeep as well. Because trying to reinstall on unlevel ground by yourself can some times be a pita.

The sway bar was the first thing I pulled OFF on both of my YJs back in the day...I didn't notice any significant handling issues. They we both lifted one 6" one 4"...do the JKs react a lot different with the coils? Just curious!

I don't know about the yj with leaf springs but on the jk specially with more lift you get a roll while driving on the road with out the front.

Leaf springs are a different animal than coils. They give a significantly stiffer ride and do not have the flex and articulation coils and control arms do. Therefore they hold the front with less sway than coils. The leaf spring mounting points play into this aswell.
