Default Sway Bar Discos

I'm looking to make some cheap discos for front and rear sway bars on my 04 WJ. So far, I disconnected the rear where the bar meets the link arm to check the bolt sizes/ make it easier to remove the next time. I was unsuccessful with the front, so I'm making a trip to Walmart today for PB Blaster

I plan on replacing the bolt with a clevis pin, and then using a cotter pin to hold it all together. Please let me know of a better way if you've done this before!

Does anyone have the bolt sizes for front and rear where the sway bar connects to the link arm? I measured 5/16 in the rear, but I'd like to make sure before making a purchase. I'm assuming the front is the same size, but you know what happens when people assume...

I don't know the size, but someone here used wing nuts, washers, and a cotter pin for a total cost of something like 60 cents. Could try that.

Just make sure that nothing is gonna get caught in or near the spring. And use caution without it connected.

I used some sturdy wire to pin it up and out of the way.
