I have the JKS discos for 0-2" of lift on my TJ with a 2" spring lift and they are great. I decided on those after reading about them on here, if you search you will find lots of info on them. It seems like most people are pretty happy with them. Only problem I have had is that I lost one of the pins at some point over the winter so I had to run to lowes and replace it, they were only a couple bucks each so I grabbed a few in case it ever happens again. With that said I do plan on switching over to the Currie AR his summer so will be selling the discos (with spare pins).

Shop around, I didn't pay nearly that much, can't remember where I got them anymore

 

IMO, anything more than a replacement bolt or a DIY pin is a waste of money.

if you have some extra cash in your pocket that you need to spend, get an AR

 

X2. Make your own for $15.

 

Jks.

 

JKS Quicker Disconnects. Been using them for nearly 20 years on two different rigs and they work great. Very easy to reconnect at the end of the trail and I've never had to replace one yet. I like the way the rig drives while rock crawling with the front axle completely disconnected. It really softens the ride while still very controllable even when off-camber, plus you have the benefit of the heavy duty factory anit-sway bar when on the road. To me it's the best of both worlds which is why I will never switch to the much more expensive anti-rock sway bar option, which to me, would be a compromise solution both off-road and on.

 

Only thing is that it isnt. It's far superior to being disconnected while offroad. That's why almost every off road competition vehicle is equipped with them and never run disconnected.

 

Sway bar disco's are a good entry level mod for the weekend wheeler. You do get much more front articulation but lose the stability a sway bar gives you. I run the JKS quicker disco's on my TJ and its fine for the trails I do. The antirock and other off road specific sway bars are not as stiff as a stock sway bar and are adjustable to dial in or out the stiffness depending on what terrain you'll be navigating. If you have a pair of sway bars that compliment the suspension of the vehicle you won't lost any up or down travel, won't unseat a spring, and also be less likely to roll or flop your vehicle, as well as other benefits.

If you're not a professional or don't run hardcor trails like the hammers or the difficult trails at Moab the disco's will do you fine. Just be careful of body roll.

 

I am planning at some point of going to the Antirocks but right now have the JKS. If you decide to go with the JKS disconnects, I recommend since you are at 2" NOT to get the 0-2", get the longer ones instead. They work on the 2" lift and this way if you decide to go taller you don't have to replace them.

 

I've run a number of disconnects over the years and I guess I can say they all work as intended but it's up to you whether you want quality (ease of removal and reconnecting, quiet, durable) or want to save money (clunky parts, cheap bushings, muscle needed). I've seen people run home-made or cheap disconnects for years and say "they work great!" but they are the ones who don't "feel" the looseness or clunking in their cheap parts. When I ran the cheaper RC disconnects, those mothers would clunk on every single bump and eventually drove me mad......but they did stay connected and did their job.

I now run Zone sway bar links. Much better quality than some of the links I've used in the past.

 

The TJ springs aren't the main reason for extra body movement, that's from shocks that are too soft. My TJ corners nearly like it's on rails with its previous OME Nitrochargers and present Rancho RS5000XL shocks with the Antirock set on its loosest setting.

Many here run rear Antirocks and I undoubtedly would be running one by now too if my money allowed me to go to the next level but at this point, my TJ does exceptionally well on most trails with just the OE rear antiswaybar to which I have added longer links.

Not doubting you, but I've wondered how yours could corner so well with OME Nitrochargers. I have the same shocks with my AR in the second losest setting and still have a good amount of roll. That being said, I daily drive this setup and I have no fear of driving full speed on the twisty mountain highways. Even with my small build, the AR made a world of difference on the trails.

 

I guess it's all what you're used to or your expectations. My TJ zips through my local mountain curves while towing my tent trailer tightly enough to make me happy. Maybe if I was driving a BMW on those same roads I wouldn't be as happy with the same level of handling.

 

If you're going to run disconnects, the JKS are nice and easier to use than most. I recently replaced my JKS with the AR. So much nicer off road.

 

Currently using the AEV/nth disconnects. I will never use the JKS again after using these things. Much easier to use. No more zipties or straps to hold the sway bar up and out of the way either.

 

Where'd you get the disconnects. I was trying to find em online and failed.

edit: is this it?

I love my Antirock and will always recommend that when the budget allows, but if it's out of the budget I'd go with some sort of home made disco that was more of a rigid one piece link with a bolt that has a cotter pin or something. I used to have the JKS discos and wasn't happy after the first couple years. The holes for the pins enlarged or something and made them noisy, and the upper and lower halves were always getting stuck together making it a pain to hammer apart. It was probably mostly my fault for lack of maintenance but it still seems like an inferior design to just having a nice tight fitting bolt with a cotter pin holding it in and a solid link. I think I'd have been happier just having a nice solid link and smacking the bolt out when I wanted to disco.

The style of disco you had really suck, where you have to join the two pieces of the shaft together with the pin. The JKS Quicker discos are completely different and way easier to reconnect as they are one piece and slide onto a pin. You can reconnect them with one hand in seconds. I would never recommend the older style ones that you had.

 

Ahhh, ok. I was wondering why people kept recommending JKS lol. Thanks for the info.

 

Yes those are them. AEVs website sucks and doesn't really show what products they truly have. But the vendors have access to it. Qtec is fine, but I got mine from Starr Motors who happens to be a local AEV distributor. I try to support local businesses when I can. I believe his price was better than Qtec too. If you want to give him a call, his number is (757)539-0214. Ask for Joe Bonney.

 

Thanks. I can't order them since I'm still stock and I'm sure they won't fit.
