Default Stupid sway bar issues

my damn swaybars wont stay connected!!! I have had to replace the bolts connecting the sway bars to the front axle from taking them of and putting them back on so many times. the new bolts have worked just fine up until this summer, now about ever month or so one of them loosens itself until the bolt falls out and i lose them! so frustrating!

would a set of sway bar disconnects fix it? im sick of replacing bolts when they fall out and get lost!

I am currently running my stock rear swaybars in the front and teraflex replacement swaybars in the back (from the TF BB kit)

Lock-tite? It is recommended in the instructions when installing the JKS disco's.

Blue Locktite, place some on the bolts let it dry then replace and tighten. There you go a $5 fix that can be used multiple times.

I would just do a quick disconnect kit. It just makes it so much faster to get them disconnected, and you don't have to worry about losing more bolts.
