Quick dissconnect build
Does anyone else see any concern with the hitch pin taking the brunt of the load? Could be a moot point, but the shear on that pin is a lot less than the shear of the bottom stud (the part that goes through the endlink). It could be bad if that pin sheared at an inopportune time.

X2 i was just thinking that. although i can only see that if there was heavy body roll...I may actually try it and see how it turns out. I'll carry a extra set of pins "just in case". But hey, whats the worse that can happen, driving without a swaybar for a little while?
I'd suggest putting a beefier pin in, minimum of 1/4" diameter and Grade 5 just to be safe.
Great idea OP, just beef em up a bit for safety's sake. Some thicker walled tube and a quarter inch pin would be darn near ideal.

More what I was afraid of. It would fatigue over time and then fail in an instance of particularly hard cornering/load, which is when you depend on the swaybar the most.
