Default Who's running quick disconnects on Rubicon?

I need to replace the links on my jeep, and was wondering if I should just buy quick discos for the front of my JKUR.

Who is running them on a properly working E-disco? And is it even a good ideal to run quick discos on a functioning E-disco, or wait until it goes bad? I could just buy new solid links in that case, but would hate to have my E-disco go out soon after and have to deal with this again. TIA.

There is no reason to run disconnects if the e-disco is operating properly

I guess you could still have them on if the e-disco went south on you then you would still be able to disconnect the links

I run quick disconnects on mine. I like the option to disconnect on easier trail where I don't need 4 wheel drive but want the comfort they provide on bumpy fire roads

I run jks flex links with quick disco's on my jkur. I like being able to pull them. I know people say that you don't get any more flex with discos vs the rubicon elec disco but I think you do and I like running fast washboard roads faster than what the elect ones will stay disconnected as well as in 2wd

Lots of folks run quick disconnects with their JKUR e-disco, so that's certainly an option. I think many do it so they don't have the computer limiting when they can be disconnected.

I also converted my e-disco to manual using the conversion from EVO and run regular links (for my lift height). Mainly because I don't have to deal with the trouble of trying to get the links reconnected, rather I turn a knob and I'm either connected or disconnected. This also means I can run disconnected in whatever mode (2WD, 4HI, 4LO).

Thought of doing this as well. I'd like to disconnect for going above 15 mph on dirt roads and such.

I'm running the factory electronic garbage until it breaks and then I'll go with the Currie anti-rock and forget about it. I don't see the factory setup limiting anything if it is setup properly, and even if it wasn't, you're going to be missing 1/2 an inch? Not worth messing with in my mind.

Good info guys, thanks!!

I have also been looking at the EVO knob. It's $89 + $30 for new links = $129, vs $131 for JKS Quick Discos.

I need new links either way. The one on the driver's side is bad. Rattles over every bump.
