Poor man quick disconnects I need Guidance
I am looking and looking, but I cannot find what i am looking for. I have seen the bottom cotter pin style setup what are the best type of setups while still using the stock links for a home brew disconnect.
Could I make a quick disconnect for the top and bottom of the end link ? share you recent attempts and designs of doing this.
Also is the bottom link bolt pressed in or will it come out nicely.

I cut of the threads on the front swaybar link... and cut the link of the rear sway bar
welded the 2 together
cut down the rear sway bar link mount and welded a bolt to the top of it, then bolted it to the front sway bar
and used a clevis pin and cotter pin for the disconnect part
looks like this

^ that's a harder way to do it but its preference I guess, I can just throw my links in the back vs them still being there
