sway bar flipped, End links destroyed.

So after having my sway bar off for some time, I decided to throw it back on to see the difference. It feels so much smoother on the road but pretty rough off road but. And now I found my sway bar flipped and totally destroyed my end links. Lol Damn. And $75 is a lot of money right now for prgs. Anybody come up with a quick disconnect solution?

Holy Sh*T

IT FLIPPED? Did you install in wrong or something? The stock endlinks just snapped? What happened?

Well because I have a leveling kit with stock end links, it didn't like the off road abuse. Lol my end links are bent at almost a 90 degree angle and the rubber seals on the end are trashed.

Re: sway bar flipped, End links destroyed.

I caught air with just a 2" level and snapped my driver side endlink. Bye-bye swaybar! That was awhile ago, never looked back. I like the ride a lot more without the SB anyways.

I like the way it rides with it on the street but not the dirt. I need quick disconnects of some sort.

Just unbolt one side whenever you wheel? There isn't a quick disconnect option for us, I think it would sacrifice the integrity of the endlink if there was.

If I disconnected one side wouldn't it still touch the lower arms on the disconnected side when the suspension compresses?

This blows man. I'm guessing this is why your truck was running a long time in the driveway this morning ?

Re: sway bar flipped, End links destroyed.

This looks like it would be a good way for doing a quick disconnect.
