I thought about making some using a "pto draw pin", 4 heim joints, a threaded rod, some lock nuts and maybe bending a peice of metal and making a bracket peice to hold the discos to the swaybar.

Essentially you would be making theses from rock Krawler for about half price.

I just bought some jks ones though because I didnt have the time. I was also kind of worried about wearing out the heims and getting a noise.

Just add a rubber spacer that's what my jks discos do. It will hold it in place better too. A pto draw pin also has a lock nut on both sides to hold it in place so that might be enough to offset it out enough to make them straight. You could probably get all the stuff you need at a tractor supply or ace hardware.
