Theres a post on here somewhere. Someone made quick disconnect with the metal pins and cotter pins or whatever they are. You can get parts at autozone or whatever store you use. Pretty simple. You can also do the quick disconnect for your ranger doors, and go skinless.

lol i mean i like having doors... but yeah i cant think something up if i were to make them. but i am lazy and really would rather just buy it for now.

Apparently you didnt listen, its as lazy as it gets, you buy the pins. take the bolts out put the pins in. Any disconnect "kit" you buy will be three times the price for the exact same stuff. Its a 5 minute swap. But its your wallet.

Take out the bolts on the link, you may need to pound on or wiggle the link to get it off the sway bar. Pound out the bolt, find slightly smaller cotter pins. Get 2 washers for each pin too.

lol yeah i realized that like 2 mins after i looked at my sway bar links. i was thinking mine was like the newer rangers like 98+ for some reason. i am going to do this over the next couple weeks along with a snorkel.

Right from my build thread

Reconnected both sway bars.

I used hitch coupler pins for the front, they are a little small so they rattle but w/e, sway bars aren't under huge amounts of stress.

i'm actually doing this tomorrow. cost me $4.38 i think, buying the pins from Tractor Supply.. then i found two in my back floor board.... lol hahahahahahaah oh well

 

[sloth69mustang]

lol yeah i was going to do the pins like that and actually buy them from tsc lol. just the closes tsc to me is 35 min drive. but i wanted to find a pin that has the same width as the bolt bc i dont want to listen to the link moving around on turns

buy longer than needed bolts....drill a hole thru the bolt to put a quick-release cotter-pin in....saw off the unused part of the bolt/threads....now you have a quick-release set-up that won't rattle....

Ditto.

 

[sloth69mustang]

lol its my daily driver. i will keep the sway bar

My truck didn't have a sway bar when I bought it, and I thought it drove just fine. It drove like truck. It's not a car. People just need to figure that out, and driving a truck without sway bars is no problem.
