I have never disconnected sway bars, going on a run tomorrow and was just wondering if it is hard to do without quick disconects, how to do it, what to do with it once disconected, could someone walk me through process, pic would be great. Sorry if this is overly basic question, I am new to this

Unbolt the bottom end on both sides. Swing them up forward and high. Find a place to wire them to so they cant come loose. Should be fairly easy and well worth the effort.

You really only need to disconnect your front sway bar in most situations. You can find the disconnects by locating the sway bar that runs across the front of the jeep, just below where the bottom of the grill is. There are 2 bolts that hold the connects in place on both sides of the jeep. If you stand facing your rim/tire the connects are just left of the coil spring. Sorry, my phone won't let me upload the pics I have.

18mm socket and I think a 17mm spanner (cant remember now) and just remove the bolts from the axle end.

Once both are undone, lift the swaybar up pretty much as high as it will go then swing the links up parallel to the bar and cable tie or wire them to something up there.

Should be fairly easy and well worth the effort.
