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.
