Sway bar quick disconnect and new tires
2007 Stock Sahara want to start upgrading it, first things I want to do are get off road capable tires onto it, and sway bar quick disconnects. Any recommendations on good tires that will fit it as is (currently running tires P255/70R18 112S) and good sway bar quick disconnects that won't break the bank but good quality?

I use the JKS mfg Quick discos. Super easy to install, durable and inexpensive. $150.

RD I love the look of the BFG km2's, they are my first choice, but didn't think they would fit on my jeep. How are they working out for you? What type of spacers are good? And the JKS QD's seems to be popular and have good reviews. I think i am going to get them. You said easy to install, did you do it yourselves?

Ordered JKS QD's, now after looking at tires and my 18 inch rims I am thinking about downsizing my wheel size to 15 or 16 inches. From looking at sites like quadratec I see wheels as cheap as $75-$100, are those cheap ones gonna be good enough quality and not just fall apart? Here is a pic of my current jeep. I want to build it up, but money is tight right now, and I need new tires because the highway ones it came with are getting cut up from off roading after only a month and a half.

The JKS are a good pick if you will need to disconnect alot. I like this size wheels and tires on a stock JK. This is a thread from someone who is running KM2's...

The QD's you chose are good ones.
Have you looked at buying a set of Rubicon take off tires?
CL is a great place to buy nice looking wheels for a fraction of new.
Also, have you checked out getting a Budget Boost to keep from rubbing your fenders when you disconnect?
PS. I'm running 285/70/17 BFG A/T KO tires on stock wheels and 1.5" wheel spacers. Here's how I look:
