I have the JKS disconnects. I got them for $60 on Facebook marketplace. I would not have bought them otherwise. They require you to cut one of the passenger side brackets off your axle to work properly. I made a bushing so that I would not have to do that. and I have to unbolt the passenger side to disconnect. If you can afford it, buy the apex. looks a lot easier.
Or you can find a cheap Rubicon take off front sway bar and wire it in. There is also a device that you can buy to use the factory Rubicon sway bar manually.

I am thinking of getting them for my Rubicon so they don't reconnect and disconnect constantly. Are there any wear points that will wear out?
My shocks have a 10.5 inch stroke so it looks like I need the longer stroke ones as the instructions say not to use the 8 inch ones with a shock stroke over 9.5 inches.

Somewhere I saw a possible competitor to the Apex system which is also easy to use, with some kind of a flip over lever system, but I can't find it right now.

I have the Apex stuff and it's great. The family likes how it makes offroad more smooth, so they're more inclined to come along on the trail, and that's worth it right there. I do recommend sealing the snap rings somehow. I used some kind of black Permatex sealant. Masking tape on each side of the ring, apply sealer, peel off tape, done.

If you want to go the fancy route, source a rubicon take off and hook it up to air.

Apex. I started with the JKS on my last Gladiator, after a couple years when Apex came out with their Autolynx I switched, sold the last Gladiator and moved the same Apex onto the next Gladiator: 3+ years of hassle free awesomeness, simple disconnect, quick, easy reconnect. Worth the price.

If it's any perspective, my uncle bought a JLUR and after seeing my Apex links in action, he converted his when he lifted and sold the Rubi sway bar to pay for it. There's something great about mechanical links and not having to worry about electronics.

I'm pretty sold on picking up a '24 Mojave for the suspension since I spend the majority of my time on back road roads that are washboarded out. The only thing on the Rubicon I really want is the Front Sway Bar Disconnect. My current Jeep JK has a 2.5" Tera Flex lift kit with their Front Sway Bar Quick Disconnects and I've really liked the functionality of them for the hand full of times each year I want them disconnected.

Any recommendations on aftermarket Front Sway Bar Quick Disconnects that would work well with a Mojave or another non-Rubicon trim? I guess another question I should ask is can you even just install Front Sway Bar Quick Disconnects on a stock Gladiator without any other suspension modifications?
Impact drill and two 18 mm wrenches are much cheaper.

I am thinking of getting them for my Rubicon so they don't reconnect and disconnect constantly. Are there any wear points that will wear out?
Tazer allows for disconnecting the sway bar at any speed.

Had the Apex Autolynx. Worked great but developed a click overtime, which isn't unusual for all aftermarket quick disconnects. Swapped them out for the OEM links and kept an eye on Craig's List for a USED Jeep JL Rubicon "Non-Functioning" Electronic Swaybar disconnect.

I don’t disconnect but if I did I would use the metalcloak ones. Matches all the rest of my pretty gold stuff.

Do disconnect the sway bar do you really need to do both sides?

2nd this! I have a 23 Mojave and did the Rubicon sway bar with air. Works at any speed as I please when I want without leaving the drivers seat. Used an end link with a hiem joint for better flexibility of the link. Pretty much the best option in my opinion. Also run the same setup on our JK that's on 40s for heavy rock crawling and road driving. Only down side is sourcing the sway bar and the air cylinder kit along with onboard air which is need anyway!
