dumb question from a yj newbie...

has anyone tried unbolting the trac bars from the axle housings and simply strapped/zip tied them up high for easy re-install later?

Not here. There is no evidence my jeep ever had a track bar on the axles or frame side. Completely cut and ground off.

The sway bar disconnect is a good idea, but the track bar doesn't have any benefits to me so I did not make any effort to retain them.
