You sure? They look pretty much identical to the JKS quicker discos I have installed on my jeep. The pic just doesn't show the mounting pins.
They do look the same, however they are two different products per the jks website.

but i too have the button i push . lol and agree less i have to get out and do the better i like it ! but i figured if the e disco motor went these would still work no?
Yeah. The quick discos would seem to be a wiser choice I guess. They are only like 50 bucks more. I'm just having a hard time with this whole edisco thing. It sounds like no matter what links I get and whatever length I set them to, it will be better to manually disconnect anyway...ugh.

I did this to my Rubicon sway bars for more flex and since putting on my lift the E-discos are not reliable......at all. And I am afraid on the E-disco flip that happens. And yes I have extended sway bars on the front and they are parallel to the frame.
$8 total for disconnects.

they should be around 3-5 degrees higher than parallel to the frame to prevent inverting them.

Being mine was an 08, I had problems with my e Dico engaging back after offroading. I'm lazy as all get out, so I got this from Offroad Evo and enjoy the desert driving alot more sense I can disengage in 4 high or 2 high by just a turn of the knob. Just a 3 bolt install.

Bottom of page 2. I had mine set at 13 degrees. Still popped the sway bar backwards. This happened today.

too much travel in your shocks and not using limiting straps. Neither the shocks or the sway bar links should be the limiting factor in your suspension. You did it wrong. Your links were still set wrong.

who manufactures this item ? And can you over ride it if its not turned in , when you just hit e disco ? or do you have to turn it each time regardless of situation?

Links were maxed out. After that there isn't anything you can do. And for the limiting straps, why? My springs don't unseat. And every stock jeep and 95% of wheeled ones never run them.
