Those are what the TeraFlex quick disconnects connect to when you disconnect your sway bar. Looks like for some reason they installed the TeraFlex quick disconnects for you when you already have the electric disconnect.

Well I suppose it's better they installed more than they had to rather than leaving something out.
Thanks for all the quick responses.

Check your links that are on there now. They prolly installed a set of quick disco's. So....... if your electric disco takes a crap, your already set up for manual disco. Prolly wasn't done intentionally, whoever installed the lift didn't know what they were doing.
And or they get theses kits as a package deal and get the same for all models since the others , X's, Saharas dont have the electric disco.
Or , I see you have Rancho shocks with the tera lift, Not that it can't be done, but unusual for them to bounce around different parts on a lift you can get the same manf shocks from. Unless you specifically requested those?

For a real solid answer, those ARE where your swaybar disco's go after they are up. I have those on my jeep since I have a TF lift too. I read you have a rubi..... Just ignore those shinny things then.

I did specifically go with the Ranchos over the TF shocks. Got a nice rebate on the set.

I installed a 2.5 Teraflex lift on my Rubicon which came with new rear swaybar links and instruction to move rear links to front. This worked fine for everyday wheelin but this winter we went through some fairly radical rock climbs and twice now I have pretzeled a front link (the long ones from the back). First one side then the other. I have thought about buying or building a longer set of links but for now I just disconect when the going gets real tough even though I have the electric discos.

All the above just leads up to the fact I would use those pins if I had them.

You also get more drop when you manually disconnect.
