I have the rc discos on my long arm an I'm not that impressed so far. It seems like a good design on paper but the little joint in them seems weak an it's very hard to get the top bolts to stay tight since the joint keeps u from getting any real torque on them. I'm already looking at ditching mine for something better. I like the old skyjacker double pin ones. Those things where great. Maybe I can find a set.

Put a set on my son's heep when we lifted it too. He luv's 'em.

Adjustable
Greaseable
Easy to use
Worth the cost IMHO (No matter where you buy them.)

And quiet. I hated the noises my old rc ones made.

Thanks guys you gave me a lot to think about. I'll probably lean more toward the jks since they are adjustable and ill need that when my suspension settles over the years.

For reasons stated already, JKS; couldn't be happier with them.

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!

x2, I could remove my lower bolts quicker than my cousin with his qds. Then again i carrier a power drill. I honesty dont remember the last time i put them back on

I installed these. Seem to work well for as far as sway bar links go.

just FYI: i saw a post that said to just ditch the sway bars. there are some issues w/ that. you need front sways!!! w/o them, you are 1) going to have no emergency handling and 2) if you crash and they find out you dont have the proper components, your ****ed

not good!

JKS make probably the sickest and best quality discos around. they aint cheap, but you can reconnect on uneven ground! pretty sweet.

you can pull the rear off and just scrap is, as long as you have front sways!!! otherwise its gonna be really sloppy.

Yes, there was most certainly some driver error, but........
