This had been an option I was thinking about but after seeing this, maybe I'll just wait a bit. I haven't even manually disconnected mine since I haven't come across the need yet but I'm sure I will. I gotta check if mine is as stiff as this before I try anything. Thanks for the vid, man. This was truly helpful! Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff.
Thanks for kind words! Although the sway bar is very stiff, I was able to move it with the help of a dead blow mallet. Lol! I've found that pulling it up was not as much of a problem as getting it to go back down as it's kind of hard to get at a good angle to push the bar down. Other than that, it's just like your basic quick disconnects. There is a pricier and easier option by Apex, which I thought about but just couldn't swallow the price at this point. Be on the lookout for the next video where I trail test disconnecting and re-connecting the sway bar! Happy trails!
I have these on my 22’ Mojave but the 2.5”-6” version. My sway bar is stiff as well, to the point it will not move disconnected. I use velcro to tie up the disco when off road. No issues. The lower pin confused me, didnt realize the kits were different but eventually figured it out.
Out of all the jeeps I’ve owned over the years, none of them had a sway bar that stiff. Must be to help give the Mojave its unique driving characteristics.
There was no need to because I did not add any lift to the vehicle and the geometry is completely the same. I just wanted the added functionality of being able to disconnect the anti-sway bar for greater axle articulation.
I'm not actually sure how much disconnecting a sway bar would be beneficial and feasible for some of the vehicles you mentioned but perhaps the manufacturers should consider it!
Nice! I’ve test driven a Cherokee Trailhawk before. I really wished I could have taken off-road. I imagine it can do pretty well on a lot terrain with the rear l locker and it’s clearance. It must do great with that sway bar disconnect you have!

Just got disconnect’s on my Willys for my birthday..!!🎂
Sweet! Congratulations! Time for some extra flex!

Did it work?! I mean, did that sway bar ever move?! Great video. Thanks!
I can get it to move with a dead blow hammer. Lol. Hopefully loosen up over time. And thanks!
Nice job. Just curios why you did not adjust the length?

@@MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI thanks!!
Use a ratchet strap to pull the swaybar down
Great idea! Thank you!
Did you ever make these work better? As is from the video I do t want to buy them for mine.
They get a little bit easier the more you take them off/put them on. Still kind of a pain though. But they work great!
Can they please make these for more vehicles- as in , vehicles that actually need it and have a stock RTI under 500.

@@MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI they make disconnects for mine, I just like the JKS.
What vehicle you running?

I think you can install that without removing the tires and all you have to do is turn the wheels
You probably could but it’s always good to have some extra room. Especially with how hard that sway bar was to move.
