This is a pic of all the things you will get with your new JKS sway bar link quick disconnects. Take note that the passenger side link has a lower mounting post that is short and flat on one end as opposed to being tapered like the other three. Be sure you have the correct length links for the amount of lift you have and verify that you have everything before you begin this project. |
 |
 |
 |
| 1. Park your Jeep JK Wrangler on a level surface. Using an 18mm socket and wrench, remove the bolts and nuts securing your front sway bar links to the lower axle mounts. |
2. Slip a 19mm wrench in between the sway bar link and sway bar itself and hold the ball joint stud in place while removing the nut securing it in place with an 18mm wrench. At this point, you can completely remove the links from the sway bar itself. |
3. Locate the passenger side JKS sway bar link, remove the short and flat lower mounting post from the bottom of it and then remove the click pin from the post. |
 |
4. Apply some blue lock-tite to the threads of your passenger side JKS sway bar link quick disconnect lower mounting post. |
 |
5. Install the passenger side JKS sway bar link quick disconnect lower mounting post to the inside of your Jeep JK Wrangler’s axle mount. Insert a small phillips head screw driver through the click pin hole to hold the mounting post in place and then secure it to the axle mount using one of the 1/2" nylock nuts provided with the kit. A 3/4" or 19mm wrench will be needed for this job. Also, be sure to try and keep the click pin hole horizontal to the ground. |
 |
6. Making sure that the polyurethane offset spacer stays on it, remove the passenger side tapered upper mounting post from the JKS sway bar quick disconnect link. Remove the click pin from it and then apply some blue loc-tite to its threads as shown in this pic. |
 |
7. Install the passenger side JKS sway bar link quick disconnect tapered upper mounting post to the outside of your Jeep JK Wrangler’s sway bar. Insert a small phillips head screw driver through the click pin hole to hold the mounting post in place and then secure it to the sway bar using one of the 12mm nylock nuts provided with the kit. A 19mm wrench will be needed for this job. Also, be sure to try and keep both your Jeep’s sway bar and click pin hole horizontal to the ground as shown in this pic. |
 |
8. Repeat steps #3-7 on the driver side of your Jeep JK Wrangler. As you can see in this pic, the lower storage mounting post is longer than the passenger side and has a tapered end. |
 |
9. Set your Jeep JK Wrangler’s sway bar within +/-5° of being parallel to the ground. Install your JKS passenger side sway bar link onto the upper sway bar mounting post and then rotate the main body of the link until it’s long enough to be installed on the lower axle mounting post. Secure the jam nut up against the link body and then remove the it from your Jeep. |
 |
10. Measure the length of your JKS passenger side sway bar link eye to eye, set the driver side link to match and then secure it in place by tightening the jam nut up against the shaft of the link. |
 |
 |
 |
| 11. Using a grease gun, apply some wheel bearing grease to both ends of your JKS sway bar link quicker disconnects. |
12. Install your JKS sway bar link quick disconnects on your Jeep JK Wrangler’s sway bar and axle mounts and secure them in place by inserting the click pins through the mounting posts as shown in this pic. |
13. Use a crescent wrench to tighten up the jam nuts on your JKS sway bar link quick disconnects. |

This couldn’t have come at a better time. My JKS links are coming in the mail tomorrow. Thanks Eddie!
Which JKS links should I run with the Old Man Emu lift? I know it says its a 2″ lift but even you said it seemed more like a 3″. Will the the 2.5″ - 6″ JKS links workout?
yes, you should get the 2.5″-6″ kit.
Eddie
Eddie,
Do you need to extend the brake lines for the articulation with out tearing the lines out?
Josh, it depends on how much lift you have. At 2″-3″, you should be okay up front without needing to extend them.
Will I even need a jack for this job? It looks like you just have to park it on a level surface for the entire job.
Nope, you do not need a jack and yes, you will need to be on level ground to make the install easy:)
Wayoflife;
Which should be the best option and why, the JKS Quicker Disconnects - JK Series or TeraFlex Quick Disconnects 0-3” lift ?
Thanks
honesty, both are good setups but what i do like about the teraflex discos is that it comes with storage pins and so you do not need to bungie anything up.
