Default Sway bar link help

This is kind of a noob question but I'm definitely in the market to buy some new front and rear sway bar links. I have the jku quick discos and really don't like them for some reason my pins continue to pop off or rattle out while driving and the link will fall and just hang. Ive been seeing sway bar links on WOL and other JKs in the videos and they look like they re still connected while off road and was really wanting something more this style. Right now I have the TF 2.5" coil lift with OME max travel shock. I do however in the next year plan on going the bolt on EVO coilovers route. Any suggestion or pics would be a great help.

If you still see the SwayBar links still connected it could be because of two things.

FIRST, it's either a Rubicon that has the electronic disconnects. Although it is still bolted on, when disconnected the sway bar links move independently from one another.

SECOND, they installed an aftermarket swaybar disconnect system like an antirock. Several companies offer them. Currie & TeraFlex to name a few...

they have the rubi e-disco. you can find one cheap on the forums or craigslist. even if the electronics is broken, its still good. it should be cheaper too if it doesnt work. add the EVO NoLimits Manual Disco to it and u are in business. no more pins to pull, etc.
i found one cheap and went this route. best setup by far. This is rec with the coilovers too. u just simply turn a knob and u are disco's, turn it the other way to reconnect. a used bar should go between $100-$300 on the high end. the manual disco from evo is $89

Just put on longer links. I also have the tf 2.5 but I swapped out the front springs for rk springs. The tf kit makes u put the stock rears in the front and they are 9" long, I hade to remove the longer tf rear links (11" long) and put on some stock sway bar links from a ford f350 in the rear which were the same length. Then I put the tf rear links in the front and I haven't had any issues so far with the e-disco flipping the links and bending them. I will post a couple of pics right now

Here u go. With the rk front springs, I made some 1" 3/4 bumpstops, and have bilstein shocks for a 4" lift. You can see in the second pic that the sway bar link is not perfectly aligned with the sway itself, there for the chance of the sway bar flipping the wrong way and bending the links is not likely
