Just ordered a set of JKS Quick Disconnects for my 2013 Wrangler Unlimited Sport. I was wondering what you do to hold the sway bar in place when it is disconnected and if there could be any brake line issues while disconnected. My Wrangler suspension is stock, no lift. Any suggestions?

I have the same disconnects, while probably not the best solution I zip tie my sway bar up against the frame. I do use aircraft grade zip ties though.

Cool. I got some nylon straps to try out. I'll probably take some zip ties with me just in case.

Default bungee

I use a bungee cord. or did on my TJ.

works well, holds it UP when disconnected, then just pull it down when in use.

I never had to take it off.

only funny look I got was from the guy inspecting the jeep, who thought it was there for something critical lol.

I said nope, it's to hold the bar up when I remove the links!

Just to note, the swaybar is supposed to be secured in the flat position when disconnected. Because of the way the JKS posts stick out, it is possible to damage your tire while it is stuffed up into the wheel wells. Securing it flat (I use a bungee) prevents it from contacting the wheels regardless of what you're doing.
