Anyone with sway bar disconnects frequently do high speed off road driving and have any issues/failures with the disconnects?

I have a '24 Mojave, live in the Mojave area, and frequently will drive fast off road as intended for this truck. I know Jeep beefed up the frame for this reason. So I'm thinking about that as I'm about to order some Metal Cloak sway bar disconnects and wondering...will that sort of fast off road driving cause a failure in a part meant for rock crawling? Clearly I'm not going to be disconnecting before doing 50mph down a dirt road. But just curious if anyone has run into issues with or heard of others having issues like previously described?

I have a friend with a Mojave that does this? But he disconnects first.

I have SDI E-links. They’re truly amazing. Full speed auto disconnects that instantly connect if you turn the wheel. Instantly. Truly amazing.

Don’t blame me if you love this company and I cost you money. Game changing. Not my fault.

They are. These just take it further. On the road my sway bar is disconnected under 20mph, unless I turn. Then it’s connected for safety. It’s so cool.

That is so cool. I am kind of a dumb ass but do you have to have a Mojave or can it be installed on other models.

I have a rubicon, but the way it drives with their shocks and swaybar links, it’s now better than a Mojave in desert performance. The one exception is frame reinforcement. Meaning I’m not jumping my rubicon on purpose. I did put Mojave knuckles on my rubicon though, and fox IFP bump stops. But no, they’re not Mojave specific. A friend with a Mojave on 40’s had the shocks and loves them. So they do work on Mojaves.

Not a Mojave (Rubicon here), but the Gladiator is in the shop getting the FOURTH sway bar disconnect fixed right now. And I don't wheel THAT hard....

I don't have them on the JT, but I do on the LJR. The only failure I had with the disconnects that were on that vehicle (I think Rubicon Express?) was blowing out a bushing when I forgot to disconnect them and maxed out my flex.
I usually just disconnect them when I air-down and put them back when I air-up so I don't forget and it helps make the ride smoother.

Sorry, that's the best I have - so pretty useless with it being a different vehicle with different parts and driven differently.

It probably depends how hard you are hitting the bumps, but I'd think that landing pretty flat wouldn't stress the links much, it's only articulation that puts tension on them.
