Reviews for JKS Manufacturing 2001 JKS Front Quicker Disconnects for 84-06 Jeep Cherokee XJ, Comanche MJ, Grand Cherokee ZJ, Wrangler TJ & Unlimited with 2.5-6" Lift
These links make disconnecting the sway a breeze for wheeling. Install was simple enough, just takes a while. The directions aren’t very clear or helpful for installing the optional pins for storing the links out of the way when disconnected. Luckily for me, the previous owner of my TJ had already installed pins that these links fit on.
Installed on 2002 TJ with 2.5" lift. Easy to install, heavy duty construction. Overall, very happy with purchase.
Easy to install. Easy to set the height adjustment for your lift. If you want to use the storage pins (you should) you will need a size "F' jobber drill and a 5/16 x 18 tap. I used cheap ones from Harbor Freight, as I don't expect to need the drill and tap again. Once installed, these are really easy to disconnect and reconnect. Definitely improves the off-road performance. Remember to lube before use. That will make disconnecting easy.
Product was great easy to install and looks good on the TJ
nice discos. have yet to disconnect. easy install.
Easy to install and very high quality. Once adjusted they take a bit of grease to fill them up but they work great and are quick and easy to use.
These disconnects are excellent quality. Got them very quickly and installed them today. Very easy process for me. I had a harder time getting my old ones off. Only reason I give four stars is because both 10mmx50mm button head bolts stripped trying to get them to torque spec. First one might have been me, but second one was not. They have thread locking compound on them, so no big deal until I need to take them off one day.
Also, a step was missing under the section "INSTALL QUICKER DISCONNECTS". As you're screwing the button head bolts that strip, you need to ensure the 1.25" aluminum sleeve is place inside the bushing. The diagram shows it, but the instructions do not mention it.
Otherwise I am very satisfied with these disconnects!
Installed these on a SOA 85 CJ7 that had been retro fitted with a 97 TJ Sway Bar. Replaced old worn and hard to reconnect homebrew Links. This custom installation required the lower mounting pin to face outward instead of inward for a TJ. Length adjustment is easy and the connect and disconnect procedure is much easier that my homebrew links. Quadratec Customer Service helped me to select the correct length kit for my custom installation. Cannot give 5 Stars until they have been "Time Tested".
Worked well for the application that I used them on, 1996 XJ
Look good so far, installed easily, on/off easy, although a little disappointed that the "storage" mount is only for use with a factory front skid plate. May have to fab an alternate bracket for there use as I would like to rid myself of the bungie bracket.
