JKS are adjustable, but you have to figure out how to stow. TF are fixed length, but do come with storage pins. The TF storage pins can be purchased separately (to use with the JKS). I have the TF and they work well. Here's my write-up on them ...

I put Curries on mine. They are always disconnected, but still work fine on the hiway. They work well offroad too.

Get the JKS discos. The design is the best, they go on and off easy and are adjustable. Just wrap them in a rag and throw a bungee on the swaybar, takes all of about 2 min. I have mine off and stored by the time my stauns deflate my tires.

I don't have experience with the TF ones, but if i understand correctly, only one side disconnects you just swing it away and use something to hold it in place.

I have the JKS discos. Pull out both pins and they come off completely so you dont have to worry about them rubbing.

Also, im normally a huge fan of TF, but in this case i think JKS has the best design and quality.

Yeap another vote for JKS, by far the best design and quality.

And yes, I have had both the TF and JKS

what I didnt like about the TF, keep in mind at the time i did have stock backspacing, but when up in the disconnected position, i would rub, not just during articulation, but on level surface when turning. Not a huge deal, but i dont want to rub anything. The pins that come with them (not the post for which they attatch but the actual pins that hold them on) are crap, they are like paper clips. again, not a big deal, go to lowes and replace with some heavy duty ones like JKS comes with. and lastly, i wasnt happy with the way everytime i tried to grease them via the zerks, grease would not displace evenly, just squish out the side closest to the zerk, and this eventually caused premature bushing failure. I even took them off occasionally and manually put grease all the way around with my fingers. Im not trying to bash TF, i LOVE their products, but this one in particularr, I was not satisfied, but im just one person who is VERY picky.

As for the JKS, cant think of anything negative to say, they friggen ROCK!
