I run JKS and can't complain. Excellent quality and I've never had an issue with them.

Just a warning, I'd stay away from the RE quick discos. I got them with my lift get and they are a pain in the *****! They don't seem to line up well.

I'm probably going to switch to the JKS quickers soon.

Stay away from rough country I have their disconnects... I called for a replacement part to buy and they said sorry we don't have parts for the disconnects you need to buy a new set...

If you plan to be disconnecting and connecting a lot just save up for the Currie..it will pay for its self with just time alone. With disco's you will either find yourself disconnecting and not connecting back or just wheeling and not disconnecting.

I'm actually the opposite haha. I've had JKS, and while they were def better quality than RC, they don't have the misalignment I currently need for my WJ setup. They also would completely seize with rust no matter what I added. Even greasing them weekly was a lost cause. That may not be an issue if you just keep them at one height their entire life, but I switched between a lot of setups and wanted to rebuild them with fresh grease/anti seize each time. Almost impossible to unscrew the two prices once they've been subject to one week of WNY salt.

That being said I currently have the new RC discos, don't know which ones everyone has that say they hate them, but their latest ones have a beefier TRE joint, and a special thicker washer for the sway bar "eye" bracket. They're also slimmer and customizable, which is what I needed to get the sway bar to work with the WJ setup.

I have the REs and rally dislike them. I routinely snap the pins if I have not disconnected the sway for light weight off roading. When it it time to re-connect them, the alignment and level must be perfect.


Will switch to JKS or Rusty's. How do I choose between them?


If someone want the RE, I will give it to them.

I've had the Rustys for almost 4 yrs now and no problems plus the fact they adj for about all heights of lifts and fit on several models of Jeeps.


I do zip tie mine up with Dollar Store ties when off road and found that to be best way to secure them out of the way, fast to attach and take off. The ties are dirt cheap also buy them by the 500 pack.

Same with the JKS. Can't go wrong and they're not super expensive.

i like the fact that the JKS has grease zerks and they're fully adjustable.

i also just use zip ties to hold them up on the trail.

and the antirock is for wranglers. lol i think they look stupid. but that's my opinion...
