Default Which Quick Sway Bar Disconnects?

I want to order a pair of Quick Sway Bar Disconnects.
Since I have no lift, and not in my immediate plans to do so, initially I think of choosing between the two following options:

A. TeraFlex Front Sway Bar Disconnects for JK with 0-3" Lift
B. Superlift Front Sway Bar Quick Disconnects for JK with 0"-2" Lift

Which would you suggest? Has anyone got any of those? Feedback?

I have a 2dr X with 245/70/R17 Coopers STT's

Default Jks

Any of those will work, but personally I would get some JKS quicker disconnects. I run them and love them. Got rid of my full traction disconnects for them.

Default Don't forget...

The Teraflex discos also come with a place to "park" your swaybar once disconnected. No bungee cords required.

I read in the JKS website that I might need longer brake lines and other parts modified due to the increased articulation.
Does anybody knows whether my X has different break-line lengths to the Rubicon, which since it has e-bar disconnect should be ready.
I a nut shell do I need any other parts beside the quick bar disconnects,no matter which brand i go for, in order to operate safely when disconnected?

I have a 2" lift and these disconnects, I did not add longer lines. I havent had any trouble at all.


I took this when I waas lifting mine. Look by the shock, you can see quites a bit of flexible line there. Now, this obviously isnt at full flex as the axle is sitting level, but the axle is nearly at full drop as shown. I flexed it with a forklift after, it did tighten the lines up some with the tires fully stuffed, but not where i was concerned with it separating a line. I would suggest doing that with yours after install, just to double check the length, but I doubt it would be an issue. as they are MADE to disconnect from the factory at stock height.

They are all the same as far as part #'s, etc, in that regard.



Get the JKS QD's for the JK...even if you deceide on a BB in the future, they'll still mean you are long enough on the QD to keep the sway bar level - the others are NOT adjustable - ONLY the JKS let you fine tune the length w/o having to buy new QD's....and they go on/off the easiest.

I have read a lot of threads on here about guys with JKS puncturing their tires with the sway bar end when disconnected. Because of this, I went with the skyjacker disco. It has two pins, so you can remove the center bar of the disco. This way, there is nothing to tie up.
