Default Best sway bar discos

I'm looking for some sway bar disconnects and I've heard nothing but good things about jks, but also what about rough country, skyjacker or all the other brands out there that have discos. Also, anyone that personal experience with home made ones and ones from a company chime in comparing them? And in my 98 limited a checked real quick, and I didn't think it had a rear sway bar. Thus was real quick just when I was walking by earlier, but did the limiteds come without a rear sway bar?
Thanks!

Ditch the rear swaybar altogether, get JKS discos for the front and be done with it. Buy quality the first time around

Another +1. Though I went the cheap route and used Rubicon Express extended links up front, takes like a minute to undo.

Funny you mention that you didn't think it had a rear swaybar. It's pretty much useless. UpCountry offroad package is the only one without it from factory.

Maybe if one lived within minutes of Moab could one justify the cost :P They do look pretty sweet, though.

They are beautiful. But I can think of 100 other things to use the money it would cost for that on.

That what I thought, that the upcountry was the only ones without stock sway bars, but I don't have a rear one. Weird. And the po wouldn't have ha any reason to take it off....

Unless it just fell off sometime in the past two years....

JKS! FYI I've had to trim the threaded rod on some installs to go with unknown lifts, but it's no big deal.
