What cheap alternatives are there for disconnects? I tried using cotter pins from tractor supply but they pop off when I corner on the street.

 

JKS a cheap (at least for a Jeep mod)

 

The JKS's aren't all that expensive and I have never had one pop off or open up on me on the road. If you're ever in the sterling/herndon area and want to check out a set, let me know.

 

There are a few write-ups in the write-ups area...

Teraflex and JKS are both over $100, but RC's disco's are $60.

 

Ripped off my rigged up disconnects this weekend. Finally installed a set of trailmaster JKD disconnect for $60. They look great and are sturdy and functional. Ride is sturdy again!

 

I'm a big fan of my Teraflex disco's. Easy to use, pin up out of the way when disconnected and hold your sway bar in place.

 

I've had the teraflex discos going on 5 seasons (northeast), ~10,000 miles and they're legit. You have to be on flat ground to reconnect easily.

 

Don't go for the cheap way when it comes down to sways... if you drive high speed and one fails.... yea.... no good.

Go with either JKS (what i have and it is much heavier duty then all the others) or teraflex... ( only good thing about TF is that you attach it after where the JKS you just take off and put a side... no biggy to me.. very simple)
