There is no option on where to mount the links. Unless your referring to when they are disco'd. Then folding them up to the sway bar and securing them there is the way.
Not familiar with the zone setup, but the sway bar side should have the swivel link, allowing them to fold, and the axle side will have the clevis pin. I'll go google a couple pics now... 1 sec...

@VTJeep, those are pictures of a TJ.

For the XJ, your kit may or may not come with mounting. JKS disconnects, like pictured, will not mount to an XJ unless you have the factory steering skid plate, as indicated by the instructions.

Rough country's disconnects will mount to the unibody with Rough Country's bolt-on tabs.

Rustys QD's are the same you must have the factory skid plate......or just do as I do and use plastic wire ties then cut them off when your ready to hook them back up.

I have the JKS discos and no steering skid plate. I just used a bungie cord and tied them up around the triangle piece of metal that attaches to fender wells. I did it about a year ago when I went to Moab. Ive left them up this whole time with no issues haha.
