Default quick Disconnects

I need to get some quick disconnects. I want ones where the sway bar is secure when i disconnect them. What is a good brand to get? I was looking at the JKS quicker disconnects but it doesn't look like you can secure the sway bar when disconnected.

(I like the idea of just removing a pin when disconnecting the sway bar)

Thanks

with the rough country ones you have to drill into the frame. Are there any where it uses the stock holes to secure the sway bar?

Teraflex. You can buy the TF stow pins separately for about $25-30 (IIRC) if you prefer another brand of QDs. Here's a write-up on the TF QDs ...

I also vouch for the Terflex one's, very easy to install and use.

Two hitch pins--one on each side, rotate up then secure with the same pins. TF has two different lengths, depending on how much lift you have ...

TF QDs for 0-3" Lift

TF QDs for 4-6" Lift

JKS are adjustable, which is why many folks prefer them. But, you can add the TF stowage hardware to the JKS package (or most any other for that matter) ...

That sounds like the Teraflex ST Dual Rate Swaybay system. Nothing to disconnect. You reach in on one side, pull a knob out to a detent position and it is released. When you are almost on the road you turn the knob to release it. When it lines up, it reconnects itself. It is a complete sway bay replacement though.
