If you use JKS quicker disconnects can you post a pic of how you bungie up the sway bar when the disconnects are removed? I in the instructions it says do not stow the sway bar vertically as it may pop a tire. It says it should be stowed horizontally but they don't provide a picture.
Also, the shop that put the disconnects on when I had my shocks and springs swapped decided that they did not need to use loctite on the bolts because the came with nyloc nuts. I even provided them the f'ing loctite because I have read numerous threads stating that you do need the loctite. I guess I will pull the 4 bolts and put loctite on them this weekend.

I leave my sway bar at the same position it was at when I removed my JKS's - basically horizontal, parallel to the ground. No zip ties or anything else. Has worked fine the times I've wheeled, full flex and everything.

Like most posters have said, I just zip tie them to the frame horizontallly. One long zip is all I use and I have not had a problem. I used to use a bungy, but it fell off one time and the sway bar fell down a bit and did rub my tire. Hence the zip tie now.

Thanks guys. I have been thinking about the loctite issue. I was thinking about just backing the nuts off a little and then apply the loctite. Any issue with that approach?
They didn't even grease the disconnects luckily I took my grease gun with me and greased them. When I asked the shop they said that they had run out of grease. Really ?! If I hadn't asked they would not have told me.
If you want the job done right I guess you just have to do it yourself.

I didn't grease mine originally. I was told by a vendor not too. I agree with that to some extent. When I got them the bushings turned nicely. Later when they started to really stick I started to grease them. I don't see any wear issue with mine, but they sure are messy now.

I welded a tab to the top of the spring perch and a tab on the sway bar with a nice heavy spring, closed the ends on it so it doesnt fall off. Works great!!! I will have to get a pic for ya.
