I had both Teraflex and JKS. Quality seemed good to go for either brand. For my setup, found the Teraflex would rub when they were disconnected and on the keeper. I switched to JKS. No rub issues obviously with the link completely removed. Sway bar stays put, with no additional parts. If I need to, zip tie, cheap solution.

If you're not going the Currie route, go with the JKS with the Teraflex storage brackets. Killer combo right there. JKS may actually make brackets now similar to the Teraflex.

If you're ever worried about possible rubbing, then at least with the JKS you can pull them entirely off with their quick disconnect kit installed also. Then just zip tie the sway bar.

I pushed my sway bar up like in jtphoto JK's picture in post #4 the first few times I ever went off road. Didn't take me long to stab a tire. I leave that sway bar parallel to the ground and have had zero issues since. When heading offroad, manually disconnecting is no big deal. The only time it stinks is for that brief impromtu moment when you'd like to be disconnected to flex for a random picture on something, but it's not worth getting out and disconnecting just for that. If I had an Antirock or a simple button to push in the cab, I'd probably be out flexing on various random objects when I saw them....LOL.

Default RC link

I have on had them for 2 weeks now but x2 on the Rough Country Sway Bar disconnects, they were almost same cost as longer non-disconnect links and are working well, will see how durable ball joint portion is.

I found a Rubi-Sway bar that someone removed and am using that on my Jeep with the EVO No-Limits.

I have also used Rock Kwaler quick disconnects.

With JKS, the mounting post sticks out of the side of the swaybar - pointing right at the tire. So when the links are removed and the swaybar is swung upward, those posts are in a good position to rip the sides out of the tires when they are stuffed/turned.

That's why JKS put a big, bold, notice in the instructions to secure the swaybar down in the neutral position, not swung up.


A lot of people use long zip ties to secure the swaybar in its normal position. I got a pair of nite ize gear ties from home depot, kinda like big rubberized twist ties from a loaf of bread. They work great.

Ok interesting. With the TF kit there is no post on the stabilizer to stab a tire because the stabilizer link stays attached..
