Rough Country Quick Disconnects
I'm looking for anyone running them to get their thoughts on them and maybe a couple of pictures of them installed on their rigs???

I don't have any pics, but I have them installed and they have been great and quite simple thus far. I can probably get you some pics later today if you would like.

I have these as well. I have about 15K miles on mine they are doing great. I check the tightness on them as well as everything else every 3k miles.
So far, no issues at all and looking good as new

Come to any of the up coming runs and you can check them out in person.
No problems until recently. Heard a pop while wheeling but couldn't find the source. Found the source later. Was the top bolt of one of my RC quick discos breaking. The link then fell forward and when I turned my wheel, broke the disco and bent the tab on my front axle.
I don't always disconnect these and I guess the stress was too much for that bolt. I have heard people say that RC has some questionable quality issues and after having this happen, I am mor elikely to believe that.
PM me your cell # and I will send you some cell pics later today.

I have the newer style disco's that attach to the frame when not attached to the axle. 12K miles and still no problems at all. I think these and the teraflex are the best designed quick disco's because you don't have to tie up your swaybar after you've disconnected to keep it from binding up in your steering or suspension.

I had the old style on my jk for about a year. The passenger side broke while driving on the street one day. I was turning when it let loose and the sudden tilt activated the ESP.
