Default swaybar disconnects.

Looking for input by people that have them. What brand do you recommend? What's the price on these things?

jks are nice, i think about $120. you can get cheaper ones of course but with my experience the cheap ones are usually clunk around and are noisy.

And also, when you unfasten some of the cheap ones, they don't stay up and your sway bar is bouncing around while you offroad.

UPDATE: Since then I have lifted my jeep and installed RC disconnects.
RC disconnects are great and easily come off, they are a pain to put back on but i blame my axle being slightly off-centered. But for half off i truly enjoy them

I have the RC's and love em. You only have to pull one pin on each disconnect, swing it up to the holders and put the pin back in. Holds your sway bar up out of the way.
