Default Sway bar disconnects - lucky8 or SlickRock?

I've found 2 options - are there any others?

https://www.lucky8llc.com/collection...bar-disconects

https://www.expeditionexchange.com/slickrockfab/

Slickrock's are double the price, but from the photos they have greasable zerks, rust-prevention coating, and disconnect via a locking pin (whereas lucky8 uses straps to secure). Slickrock's look quite a bit beefier too. Are they worth the extra $?

On the other hand, Britpart replacement sway bar links are $4...

Make your own! And if you're lifted you can use stock rear links on the front. They're a little longer.

Not a chance! Too many unfinished tasks and DIY projects as it is right now. It's been 7 months now since my rover has fired up. I was finally ready to go, until my PAS pipe cross-threaded at the pump, so that led me down a dizzying list of work I had planned to do after the engine rebuild. Pipe led to steering box, then to panhard, damper, rods, sway bars, lift kit, towers, rotors, caliper rebuild, brake lines...

Good tip on the rear links.

Those Expedition disconnects look just like JKS Disconnects except they're painted grey vs black. There are JKS ones off a Cherokee or TJ that bolt on perfectly.

The lucky8 ones use a strap to secure them when disconnected which just a nice touch. I used disconnects for years that I just secured out of the way with zip ties or small bungee cords as they didn't have anything to secure them out of the way.

Not worth the nearly 100.00 difference IMHO.
