I am looking for some quick disconnects for my cherokee with a 3in rc lift. I looked at zone's and its like $99.99. I would like some jks but their a little high for me, does anyone have any suggestions of what i should get?

I think the JKS's slide on and off easier IMO but the others do work fine for what they are intended to do

To the OP, I have no experience with any other brands than the Teraflex discos, I picked up for next to nothing (I love them by the way), so I cant be much more helpful than sellers there other than to give my opinion on the matter.
Like I stated, I already have some, but if I was shopping for some, I'd just look at the most reasonable price as far as my decision.

Hes right get the best ones, JKS. They are Super beef, greaseable, adjustable,replaceable bushings. I thought of it this way, I wheel often, so i would be connecting and reconnecting them often. When im doing that, I want it to be as easy as possible to get the links on and off and with their design thats possible even when your not on perfectly flat ground.

Thanks man for the input, well i think ill go with the jks because ill be disconnecting them often as well. And i want them to come off quickly and easily, so ill just spend the extra $ to get the best product.

i have jks and i've beat them with a hammer to get them on and off.
easy to hook up on uneven ground, sometimes i just lift the front of the jeep with my shoulder to line it up, then get out the bfh.

almost 10 years old and still going. can't even tell i hit them with a hammer either.
