Default Swaybar discos...Teraflex of JKS?

I'm looking to get swaybar disconnects for my 07 X. I have a 3.5in RE standard lift. Should I go with the Teraflex disconnects or the JKS Quicker Disconnects?

they're both pretty good and will get the job done but, the JKS ones are adjustable and, that's something that i prefer to have.

Both have great reviews, just depends on how you feel about pulling the links off and storing them vs swinging up and re-attaching.

I went with JKS. But, way back when I bought, the Tera links were having a lot of issues with the mounting points, tires constantly ripping pins out, having to carry a bunch of spares, etc. Now that they have redesigned and corrected that, I think that it is very effective and convenient.

I wouldn't probably buy the JKS discos again, though.

Thanks for the info guys. Right now I'm leaning towards JKS because they are adjustable. Are they pretty easy to install?

I just picked up a set of JKS and installed them. Love the build quality.

Default Depends

I agree the adjustable JKS would be nice. Me however I picked a lift and will stay with it (famous last words) so that's not a factor for me. What is though is I dont live in california and don't have my carpets removed. Confused yet? What I am getting at is the outside of my Jeep is covered in mud (not all the time but lots of the time), the inside of my Jeep is not covered in mud (and I like that). So when I disco, my filthy sway bar links stay where they should (not in my Jeep). This however does not make Teraflex disco's superior in every way but for me they are better where it counts. Just some more food for thought. But like everyone else has stated you are not making a bad decision with either.

When I disconnect my JKS's I secure the swaybar with a velcro strap around the frame rail. Works like a champ. Some use cable ties, but the velcro strap is reusable.
