Default Sway Bar Discos?

So after lifting my jeep i went the cheap route w a sway bar drop kit. . . .I hate it. . .Looking at sway bar discos. . .what brand do you guys recommend... looking at rough country, zone and skyjacker.

Thanks

JKS is nice but pricey.

Don't bother with rough country, didn't even make it to 2nd oil change and they started rattling.

Both ends on mine wore out.
After inspection I concluded cheap material was the cause.
Just saying you get what you pay for.
