Default Quick Disconnects

I have a 4.5 RC lift and the front sway bar quick disconnects. Anytime I haev tried to just pull them off...its like prying teeth. I can barely get the pin out, and when I do they wont come off...IF I can get it of, I have to hammer them back on. I have checked my measurements on them but cant figure out why they are so hard to deal with. I do notice when looking from the front, they both seem to angle inward like this \ /

Has anyone else had this issue?

OK good. I thought maybe some how I installed them wrong or something.

Even tho not on the topic, I dont want to start another thread. I have been reading about bump stops...recommend any brands for a 4.5 lift with 32" tires?

My JKS discos were the same way. I did a little lithium grease like Ianf406 and they got a lot better. Spray a little in there every 6 months and you should be good.
As for bump stops, just check RC, Rusty's, Quadratec, etc.
