What do you do with it and your disconnects? I got my JKS quickers ( have yet to install though) and I thought it would come with a strap for each side to contain it but there was no such strap.

Weld a pin to the uniframe and bungie strap it out of the way.  FWIW I don't run a swaybar but I have really stiff springs and shocks so I get very little body roll.

Usually it does come with some sort of strap, call JKS and let them know about this, they will probablt send one out to you.

When in doubt, read the instructions (doh). For XJ's with factory front skid plates, they have bar pins that attach and contain the end of the link. Other than that they say to use  zip ties or bungees.

I know BDS has some straps that you can buy, I got them when I ordered my set of disconnects for the XJ from them. Call them and see what they can do for you.

Note; "Removing the convenient click-pins allow the disconnects to slide easily from their mounting posts for safe stowage inside the vehicle, or to be secured to the vehicle with the swaybar, depending on the application."

 

I know the disco's for the Wrangler include the pins to hold the arms & sway bay up and out of the way to the chassis, but the XJ may be different where you stow them inside the vehicle? If the latter is true of the XJ and you don't want to stow them inside everyttime you disconnect, then you will need to fab up something if you prefer to hold them up underneath.

They came with pins that bolt to the factory front skid plate but my xj does not have one. I don't see how to completly remove them to store inside the vehicle. I have looked for a replacement front skid, but could not find one online. Ill just use some kind of strap or bungee, or perhaps see if I can bolt the pin to a frame rail.
