I'm thinking about getting some rear quick disconnects and I was wondering what some of you guys are running and what the pros and cons are to the types or disconnect your running on your rig. Or is there an easier way to make them homemade let's see some pictures of what your running.

Most that have disconnects will use JKS disconnects for a grand Cherokee. I would look into disconnect the front as well it makes a difference

I broke the bolts off of my rear sway bar and just took it off completely. Ride feels the same.

When I left mine off for a bit I never noticed a thing until I went to swerve to miss some debris on the highway....needless to say the sway bar was reconnected as soon as I was at the next rest stop

You can leave one side connected offroad. Squeaky told me that he just took his off before he went offroad.

When I remove my rear all I do is take the nut off the bottom bolt then push the linkage up and out of the way... Never had it come down even after two straight days wheeling in the rocks!

I always zip tie mine to the sway bar just to insure it won't fall down.

Just disconnect both up front, your front sway won't go anywhere,

it will rock up and down and hit other components. Either ziptie it up and outta the way or just disco one. They will both do the job.

The front will?
I took all of your advice into consideration and disconnected my left rear swaybar zip tied it up and I'm going to test it like that for a while. but I still have one question about the front when I disconnect to go into the trails is it possible to disconnect one or do you still have to disconnect both

How much does this effect the side slope tip over angle?

Just the one is enough, it's breaks the link in the system
I took it to a spot close to home drove there with the left rear disconnected and zip tied up I noticed a significant difference it stayed more level and there was more flex I got out and was looking at where the sway bar was sitting with the left rear stuffed and the bar was in a safe place, very happy with it now to disconnect the front tomorrow when I get to my spot and get some pictures, I also took off my mud flaps today and running boards. Looks so much better

Yeah, disconnected sways made a big difference for me. Even ripped the plastic under the door off...
How did it rip the plastic under the door off, in my pictures only the rear is undone , I did undo the front and test it out too but didn't take pictures of that yet
