Just to note, the swaybar is supposed to be secured in the flat position when disconnected. Because of the way the JKS posts stick out, it is possible to damage your tire while it is stuffed up into the wheel wells. Securing it flat (I use a bungee) prevents it from contacting the wheels regardless of what you're doing.
Take a look at that big tire-shredding pin the next time you have the swaybar moved up to the frame.

Seriously talk to your ARB supplier about their JK quick disconnects. They are not adjustable like the JKS ones but they are greasable with an OE style rubber bushing and secure to a post when disconnected. Best of both worlds IMHO

JKS makes a great product and all you need to do is remove just one side. They are designed so you can totally remove them. This way there is no chance of any kind of star failing and creating havoc.

About to pull the trigger on the JKS Quick Discos. Everytime I disconnect I just use 550 paracord to secure to the frame since I know it will not break. I do have a question though, I have the 2" HD OME lift and like everyone else I netted more than advertised. Should I just go ahead and go with the 2.5"-6" quick discos or stick to the 0'-2" model?

I usually just zip tie mine to get them out I the way... I'll have to take a look at the contact issue... don't want to test my MTR sidewalks that way!
