Default Quick Disco Question

Search... Search... Search, I know and sorry, my search feature on the phone is not cooperating and keeps saying something like Parse Error, whatever that is.

I am in need of some sway bar disconnects and have read so many different things. I wanted to hear your input from experience with the different ones out there. I am at 3" of lift and will probably not go any higher. Looking at JKS, BDS, and Zone. Any recommendations or warnings are appreciated.

My kit came with RE quick disconnects and they were loud and somewhat difficult to disconnect when my jeep was parked at certain angles. I swapped them out with JKS quicker disconnects and I love them. They are very quiet, as long as you keep them greased, and they are easy to disconnect even on a hill. I would say they are well worth the cost.

Thanks guys! I'm leaning toward the JKS mainly because they look like they are well built and fairly simple.

The fabbed option is definitely cool... just don't trust my welding skills enough.

I love my BDS ones....expensive but its take 5 seconds to disconect them and reconnect them....well worth the money and lifetime warrenty that you cant beat.

Just installed RC quick disconnects with 3" lift. Had to cut 4.5" off them and rethread them. Fit great now.

Good point on the warranty, nothing I hate more than a company that won't stand behind their product.

Anyone have any experience dealing with JKS regarding a warranty issue?

Quality is number one for me, customer service is a close second. But affordability is always nice as well.

Well... I ended up getting a killer deal on the JKS quicker discos. I love the "best offer" feature on eBay.

Thanks for all of the help on this. Hopefully these will work well, if not you'll see them for sale on here cheap and I'll be going BDS.
