Anyone have these or heard anything about them? I am looking for quick disconnects for my rig and these are pretty cheap ones. I want JKS but im cheap. Any input on these would be nice! are they noisey? easy to use?

I like mine but I have not had any other brand either. They still come apart when I need them to and they are no more noisy than the ones that came with the lift that I switched for the DQ's.

they're not bad but they do get noisy

bhulty20

thats what i was worried about

big95xj

Im actually having the opposite problem with mine. They are too tight and it takes an act of god to get them apart...but other then that they do what they are supposed too....

Mine are only noisy when I drive on very rough roads, trails. I cannot hear them around town. They operate very easily, just follow directions and don't over tighten like I did.

thanks guys, how do they work when disconnected? what i mean is like with the jks ones they come off on one end and then that gets retained up above with a strap to hold it.
what do you do with these? pull both pins out and just take that middle piece out?

JeepCoMJ

yup, pull the pins and remove the middle piece.

I actually have the top pin set in the farthest up hole (there are two holes on each end link) and the bottom on the lowest hole, with the side of the center piece that has 4 holes on the top end. when I disconnect them, I pull both pins each side, lift the swaybar off, turn the center piece 90 degrees and pop the top pin in, then fold them up to the sway bar and pop the other pin in with it wrapping around the sway bar.

more involved than JKS, but they stay there, and I don't lose them

i like mine they are a little snug but i dont ever hear them and i have to have mine in the longest position in the middle holes

on a side note...I got a set of JKS 3" discos awhile back and am gonna mod them for my 6.5" tonight and throw them on.

How's this for cheap? This was on the forum a few weeks ago. %5 quick disconnects!

I have them but they have been discoed for some time now.

WHen i did use them they were a Pain to undo then redo but they made no noise so I was happy with that.

JeepCoMJ

that design is doomed for failure. I suggest to anyone without welding and fabbing skills NOT to do it.


what will eventually happen is the hole on the axle end of the "disconnect" will oval out from constant strain on the swaybar and links. then you're pretty much screwed if you don't have the ability to fix it.

Check out Tereflex disconnects. The whole link comes off and they have a soft ball joint bushing.
