JKS MFG. JKS 2030 OE Replacement Front Swaybar Quicker Disconnect System for Jeep JK

Okay, I have your attention. These are really heavy duty link ends. Upon unpacking this kit, I noticed that the Polyurethane Spacers were not in the package. I went ahead and installed the driver's side to see what it looks like. These are 1/2 in. longer than factory links. With the unit installed, minus the spacer, the bottom end is about 3/8 of an inch outboard. That means the top leans inboard. I see in a reviewer/s picture that the unit leans in at the top also. Probably no harm, no foul. They go on and off with ease. Replacement ends look like toothpicks compared to these. I have just shy of 27000 miles on my Wrangler and have replaced the factory units due to failure and a replacement set failed in just over 2 years. If you use your Jeep for serious off road travels, you need these. Standard end links cannot stand the stress of extreme movement, thus the electronic disconnect on the Rubicon model.I received a set of these with the Polyurethane Spacers missing. So I got an exchange. While installing these, I discovered that there was a factory defect in the factory sway bar. Looking straight up from underneath, I discovered that the passenger side, on the link mounting point, was bent in toward the frame. That means that the sway bar mounting ends were not both parallel to the frame. This was not caused by road damage. That explains why I popped two links on that same side. The good news is, that these adjustable links can just be turned a little bit to square with the bar and still be square with the mounting plate on the axle. So now I have links that I can remove to obtain full articulation of our Jeep, thus saving failures of the sway links from that extreme pressure.I used this setup yesterday for the first time. They came off easily. On arriving to a fairly level spot before we hit the paved road, I put on the driver's side, no problem. I then tried to put them on the passenger side, couldn't get it. I had my passenger get out, up popped the bar and it installed easily. So the key is, keep it level, the weight of a passenger will throw it off. I found a couple of small brackets from a window blind kit. It has a tab with a hole in it. This tab is bent about 3/16 of an inch from the remaining 2 inches of this bracket. It has a slot in it. So I drilled a 1/4 in. hole in the coil spring tower and bolted the bracket to the tower. Used two small bungee cords to hold the sway bar level while detached. Worked perfectly.Update, It is now 2022 and I am still using these end links. The studs that they supply are really beefy. I admit, sometimes I'm too lazy and leave them on if the terrain isn't too extreme. I wish I had purchased these when the Jeep was new. Beware Jeep owners, the factory puts components on the Wrangler that are not appropriate for a vehicle that is used for, you know, Jeep stuff. You city dudes that use your Wrangler as a status symbol, you'll be fine.

I have wanted to put a set of these on my Jeep since I bought my first one in '94, but never did. This year I bought a new Jeep and ordered these right away. Last weekend I had installed them and took the Jeep out for it's first time in the trails here in BC. My main concern was that I wanted to really see what the before/after would be like, but I did not want to head out on the trails connected then not be able to find a flat spot to disconnect to test it out. So I just headed up the trail with 6 other Jeeps.The good news is that one of the other Jeeps (which was much more built up than mine was) had JKS on there too, but he did not disconnect. We got to an obstacle named VROCK (google it, it really is quite impressive) and I made it up and had some crazy flex. Then I watched the fellow who had not disconnected try. Right away he was three wheeling as his passenger front went skyward. After a few goes at it he decided to disconnect. First shot after he rolled right up.Install was very simple. I did it with basic handtools in about 30 minutes. Taking off the stock connectors was a bit difficult only when trying to remove the top bolts. Outside of that it was so simple I thought that I must have missed something.Installing after the run was a bit of a pain as well. One side went on with no issue, but the other side was not going to fit at all. I had to drive up a barrier to flex to the point where someone could get the drivers side back on.Over all I would say that these are kick ass. If you have a non-rubicon Jeep you should just stop reading now, and click buy!

These are so much better than the rough country ones that wore out in 6 months. Easy to disconnect and reattach. I feel they are over priced compared to other options BUT they work so you get what you pay for!

I really like having the ability to quickly and easily remove or install the swaybar links. These are also much beefier than the stock links. The provided instructions were sufficient but watching a video of how to install these makes it that much easier if you haven't done this before. Nice quality and pretty essential gear. I should not have waited this long to get these.

I finally got to test these out, last weekend (07FEB21). I've only ever tried the JKS Quicker Disconnects, but I don't think I will try any other manual disconnect. On the road, they are nice and firm. Off Road, they are easy to remove and make a WORLD of difference. Level ground is a must, and a second person to reconnect is nice. I will use these until I lift my Jeep and switch to an pneumatic disconnect.

This is supposed to be a 30 minute install. Took me around 4 hours. Description said it fits JKs but that wasn’t really the case. The hardware that comes with it is too big for the holes on the sway bar. I had to take a file and some drill bits to try and make this fit. That still didn’t work. Literally had to go at it with a rubber mallet for about an hour just to get it seated properly.

more expensive than other brands, but worth the extra $$$$$Being that the connectors are adjustable, I was able to level the angle of my sway-bar for a more stable ride.Easy to remove and reinstall on the trail, just make sure the ground is level, and the tires are straight.I would recommend theses for anyone that takes their jeep off the pavement.The only draw back I found, is that the retaining pins come apart too easy.I found an easy fix with a trip to the local hardware store, where I bought trailer hitch pins, they work perfectly, and will never accidently come out.

Perfect fit. I have a 2.5 inch lift and these adjusted to allow fully without maxing out the threads

These are not cheap, but of course they are excellent,

Great
