Not sure if I read that correctly but the disco (disconnects) come in pairs.they are located in front of your coil springs so if u wanted to have more flex in the trail or over rocks u buy the disconnect because they have a pin in them holding them together also known as a "quik disconnect" rather than a bolt ( which would take for ever to take on and off ) and ya most peeps just remove the whole sway bar in the rear and don't have much of a problem ,I'm actually pretty close to removing my front completely also I hope it'll make me drive slower and save gas lol cus its just so fun to floor it mwahahaha

I just took the front one off and just it in the rear for more flex and I don't have any problem driving down the road no wobble no nothing.

if u dont have a sway bar it will make ur jeep have a lot more body roll then normal and if u dont want to run a sway bar u have a greater chance of wrecking one of these day...its a fact it will make a jeep roll over easier than normal....now running no sway bar offroad is the way to go it flexes alot better.....screw the rear sway bar that was a waste of money from the factory

Not having sway bars does not mean you will wreck lol. Granted it will have more body roll but just don't drive like a moron. With my hiem joint steering set up i had to cut the sway bar mounts of f Ben running like this since i bought it with no issues.

I have almost rolled while driving with my front sway disconnected. Was driving like an idiot. No rear though its worthless.
As far as I am concerned, quick discos are a waste of money. I have an 18mm combination wrench in the back of my jeep and 15mm deep socket. Always keep the nuts that hold the links on greased up, takes 5 minutes tops to disconnect the sway bar
