Sure can. I run the JKS Quicker Disco's. Each link has 2 pins. When you get to the trail, pull the pins, zip-tie or bungee your swaybar in its normal position, and store the links inside.

The TeraFlex discos are well regarded also. They come with mounting brackets. You pull a pin on the bottom of the disco then swing it up and re-connect. I like the idea of the TF disco's, but there were a lot of posts about tire contact when flexed/turned, ripping pins out, and carrying spares. (haven't seen any of these comments lately, so the issue may have been fixed?)

There are other companies selling them, but I haven't payed attention to any reviews.


Also, the rear swaybar is fairly thin and flexible, so you don't need discos back there.

The pins on my TF disco are on the inside away from the tire and wheel.

The TF are great because they include a method to hold the swaybar. There isn't a problem when they are connected. When disconnected the swaybar has to swing up to a high position to reach the storage pins. This puts the mounting bolt in line with the tire. When stuffed and turned you will rip the sidewall of the tire. Cut the bolt and/or add wheel spacers to prevent this happening.

I am on stock suspension and I got the TF 0" - 3" QDs. If I ever lift I am ready for it.

I haven't lost either of the R-Clips either. The included ones rattle because they are big and just fall through the pin. I got smaller ones at the local hardware store. They clip into place on the pin and do not rattle.
