Default Best sway bar disconnects for stock jk

Just wanted to get opinions on sway bar disconnects for a stock height jku. My jku is my DD and i am not interested in a lift for it. It is a willys edition(has rubi shocks) and I did add 19/60 springs.

For the discos - i have been looking at the teraflex and JKS ones. I like the teraflex because it has a bracket for the frame, but i read some reviews that say it doesnt work well without a lift.
Does anyone have either of these, or another brand on a stock height jk?

With JKS, what do you do with the swaybar/end links when disconnected? Also any rubbing for stock height with them

I put them in my seat pockets behind my seat and zip tie the sway bar up in the wheel well. I don't recall having rubbing issues when I was stock, but once I put 35s on with an Ole Man Emu lift on I did rub on the peg that sticks out from the Sway bar to slip the link onto.

Running JKS links, I like their design and features. I have been running the same ones from the stock suspension to now my coilover system, just adjusted them out (also my truss raised the axle mounts)

You angle the swaybar up when disconnected? So the pins are poking into the tires when stuffed and turned? People are shredding tires this way.


JerseyMark, if you go with JKS disconnects, pay attention to the note in the instructions.

WHEN DISCONNECTED, the Quicker Disconnects
must be completely removed from vehicle, and the
swaybar must be secured to the chassis in the hori-
zontal position to prevent interference with tires.

Thanks for the info. What is the best way to secure the sway bar to the chassis?

I did some searching, looks like zip ties or bungies will work

I'm not yet lifted, and I love my Teraflex discos. Very solid, great value and the parking pin is a great idea.
