Cool, thanks for another idea/tip. Think I'm gonna stick to zip-ties, I have about 85724562374173805723957278965 in my garage, all shapes and sizes...I can just snip 'em off when I'm done and toss 'em.

i'll see if i can find a pic somewhere but really, all you want to do is make sure that the sway bar arms and links are positioned horizontally and strapped to the frame rail. if you rotate them all the way up as far as they can go, your side walls will hit the link end at a full flex. if you attach the loose end to about the same position as the storage pin (by the body mount) you risk hitting it at a full flex and turn. when the arms and links are horizontal/parallel to the frame, it's free and clear of the tire.

one's adjustable and one's not. the JKS are a lot beefier too. otherwise, they're about the same.

If the jks are just two pins wouldn't it just be easier to remove the whole thing and not worry about zip tieing them up to the sway bar and sway bar to the frame?

yes. if i recall, they had 2 different discos and the ones you are looking at are the ones i would go with. you still need to do something with the sway bar itself though. otherwise, the arms will just fall down and get in the way.

yes, you're just trying to keep the swaybar arms and links if you still have them attached in place.
