So far I love them
Put these on a Jeep TJ, When I first got the jeep I broke a stock end link so I bought some more factory replacements and decided to install a DIY disconnect. Used it that way for about a year before deciding to upgrade to these. I wish I had gone this route in the first place. They are much stronger. They do not rattle or make any noise, They are much easier to connect and disconnect and they are able to completely fold up out of the way. None of the things the DIY disco's could do. I wish it did not come with allen head hardware, Or at the very least include a proper size allen socket with the set. I am a little worried the bushing that slides onto the large pin which is bolted to the axle will wear out and they will have play in them eventually. Hopefully I can get replacement bushings if this happens. Otherwise, Highly recommended and I wish I just bit the bullet and got them sooner.

Great addition for offroad
These are a nice product, well built and they work. Put them on a 2003 Wrangler TJ and they give much more articulation on the front end. Bolted right on, and I was able to adjust them up easily when I later put in a 2" lift kit.I drilled a hole for the bracket to hold the swaybar up out of the way when disconnected.These take about a minute to disconnect when it's time to head off road. About the same to re-connect (you don't want to drive a Wrangler very far on the road with the front sway bar disconnected).

Love JKS
Well made and easy to install. Be sure to use the correct size/type of tap and drill bit. I used the wrong size drill bit for the tap I was using and broke my tap off in the frame. The best way is to use a bit that came with a set. I ended up buying a Hanson bit and tap that were packaged together to finish the task. After installation, it was easy remove and place them on the hangars. The only thing that I noticed was the sway bar itself doesn't have anything to keep it from drifting left and right but it didn't seem to affect performance. Love JKS

Solid
Solid well made product. I've used them before on other Jeeps with zero issues, they hold up well, are easy/quick to disconnect, and are nice and quiet. Well worth the money over something cheaper.

Design issues and substandard metal bolts
This is a tough and demanding review, in part because the expense of this item demands better material.The click pin broke on installation after twisting it a mere 45 degrees. It was a defective part where the hole receiving the tension ring was too close to the edge leaving only 1/64th inch of material which broke free. Without a working click pins on both the right and left sides you should not drive your vehicle on the street. This is only a 96 cent part so it would be nice if JKS shipped the product with a spare click pin. Given the criticality of this part I plan to store an extra in my glove box. It took a day for JKS to respond but it did eventually agree to ship a replacement for this lifetime warranty product so kudos to them for this.The 35mm and 50mm button head bolts on the top link require an allen wrench fitting. These allen wrench fittings do not hold up well to the force of the torque specs in the intallation instructions. The allen wrenches twist under the force of the required torque. While my quality set of allen wrenches held up under the force, the bolts barely did. I took great care to ensure the allen wrenches fit properly and were fully engaged but you could see where the wrench fittings deformed under the pressure. If you ever have to remove or re-tighten these bolts they will likely strip due to the soft metal the bolts are made of. These bolts should be hard stainless steel like the parts on the lower link.Also, the use of allen head bolts is not a good design. The 35mm bolt should just fit with a square shoulder insert into the strap. This way you can re-torque the top bolt without having to disassemble the link assembly. The 50mm lateral bolt would be much better as a regular socket fitting instead of the allen head fitting. As these parts are exposed to the elements it only gets worse so future replacement will be problematic.The pictures of the swaybar are only for one model of Jeep. When I looked at my swaybar I began to think it was upside down. After a Google image search I saw where others were similarly confused. It would be better to have no picture than a misleading picture. But it would be better still to have pictures for each Jeep model. I'm being a little picky on this point.After installation I took my Jeep on a major rock trail outing. Everything held up and performed well. But I take my Jeep out often and I'm skeptical that these links will hold up for more than 5 years. When they break I'll probably look for parts elsewhere.

Don't waste money on stock. Get these instead
I have replaced my end links 3 times now with stock replacements. They are poorly designed and this results in separated ball joints often. Usually on your way back from a camping trip. These are sturdy, grease able, and easy to disco. Oh and they look pretty good too.5 stars. Will update review if this changes

I bought these because it clearly says that it will fit a jeep tj 2-4 inches in the title, but it's only 0-2. I go to cancel it right away and it was denied, so now I have two 150 dollar pieces of metal because they can not use proper grammar.

They're easy to install
Used these on my 1988 Cherokee XJ with 3" lift Skyjacker coils + 3/4" RE coil spacer. They're easy to install, assuming you have a stock/OEM front skidplate for a place to mount the retainer studs to keep them clear when you're disconnected. If you don't have that, you'll have to ziptie or bungee them up out of the way somehow. I was a little nervous when the instructions said I'd have to drill/tap the studs in to the skidplate - I had never done that before but it was a piece of cake assuming you have an electric drill. Go to Sears, buy a Craftsman 5/16-18NC tap kit (item #52849) and a tap wrench and you're all set. Took me 20 minutes and I felt cool as hell afterwards.They disconnect easily trailside, although the included retainer pins leave a bit to be desired - I lost one my first day out testing them (the swaybar link still stayed on, for the record). I replaced them with standard hitch pin clips. That's the only reason for my 4/5 star review
