Sway Bar Quick Disconnects
I am definitely serious about getting sway bar disconnects but I am not sure which brand to go with. I am running with a 4.5" Rough Country lift, I don't want something cheap and flimsy but then again I don't want to break the bank on this, any recommendations on which brands to look at and do I need front and rear? Thanks.

Just go with the rough country QDC's. I'll be installing mine tomorrow. And I'd just take out the rear sway bar if your running the leaf spring packs. I already am and it's fine. Is this your DD?

if you want to buy them, rough country ones look nice.
if you want to make your own. ditch the bottom bolt, put a clevis pin through there with washers to keep it from pulling through, then throw a hitch pin through the clevis pin and call it a day. i ran it on my zj and it worked. maybe 3 bucks max for a set.

Just my 2cents, I thought about qd's, and then thought.......why? I takes about 20 seconds to use a 18mm to loosen both bottom end links and then just zip tie sway bar, then i thought if you dont wanna do that, it only took another 2 min to use 15mm to remove sway bar and end links all together for trail riding. With qd's, you leave parts hanging and if you do any mud, they get packed. Just go the cheaper route and dissasemble, much easier and way cheaper!
