I have the TF quick disco's, and i was rubbing the links badly with the TF bracket and KO2's in 315/70/17, it would happen with the wheels at full lock and shocks fully compressed.
So i fabricated a different solution with a couple of L brackets from Lowes, zero rubbing now

I have JKS quicker disco's, so they get removed by pulling pins and sliding them off the studs, and go in a plastic bag then into my recovery bag.
I have a short length of rope that goes through the hole in the frame, and then I tie the sway bar in place at frame height.

I have the TF quick disconnects also. I think it depends on lift and tires, when I was at stock height my tires would run the top studs at full flex and turning, now with about a 3" lift no more rubbing, now I don't have to fix the rubbing issue 👍

My way is super easy and cheap. Once disconnected, I rotate the link and set it on top of the sway bar, then Velcro it in place around the frame. Been using the same strip of Velcro for 3 years. Just leave the Velcro wrapped around the frame when not holding the link so I never have to worry about forgetting it. I have teraflex discos, but the bracket rubbed. This was my solution.

I think is more the lift height ? i have adjustable front lcas, little longer than stock to accomodate the 2 1/4" lift, 5* caster
This is with a 2" bumpstop, look how the tire is rubbing the edge of my flares, i had to trim those with a grinder and hammer down a bit of the tube to avoid rubbing my tires

No more rubbing

And the tires finally won't rub the links in the new spot

I think it also depends on up travel. Only running 2" bump stops, or the guy who rubbed when stock will got more up travel than the typical guy running 37's. the axle will pivot more and lean the tire in.
Offset and tire size matter too.
Just a thought
