Default Rubi electro disco Aftermarket replacements

Hello everyone newbie here with a question that has probably been beet to death but here it goes.

I busted a sway bar link over the weekend in Moab, luckily a local jeep rental shop had one on hand and he explained that it was a common issue and that he just rips them out in his rental fleet because he's tired of replacing them all the time.

I'm on an 08 Rubi with a 2.5 old man lift and 35" tires.

I replaced the electronic disco 2 times under warranty and told myself if it was to happen again I would replace them with aftermarket sway bar and disconnects.

So here are a couple of questions I hope to shed some lite on

What are some brands that people suggest for a budget around $1000.00?

Do/should I replace the rear sway bar?

Is there any extra parts that I'll need to install other then the kit?

I thank you all in advance for all your help

Evo has a kit under $100 to convert the Rubicon electronic disconnect system to a manual system. If yours fails again, purchase the Evo kit and your choice of end links. BUT I think that you have end links that are too short or too long for your application.

ORO sway-loc dual rate. Northridge can get you one for under 1000. And you simply flip a switch between on and off road. It won't break.
