Where?? I've never even heard of those.

I want some quick disconnects though. Sway bars suck off-road.

If you can source a new JK electronic swaybar, you can do some custom fabwork and use it in any Jeep, unfortunately for the grands and cherokees, the part that bends toward the rear of the vehicle to reach the axle is kinda short.

You can get them from dealers for 60-80 bucks, but they're on a national backorder of about 65 swaybars last time I checked.

Your mom rides back there.

The leaf springs are shot, a near vertical shackle angle and an add-a-leaf will do that. New springs are next on the list.
