Here is how I dide mine. Hope it helps.
You can easily make some quick disconnects and keep using your stock links. Just get a pair of bolts that are same diameter but about one inch longer (same grade), two flat and two lock washers, two wing nuts, two wire clips (I do not know the name of them). Take off the stock hardware and place the new bolt, washers and wing nut
instead of it, then make a little mark just over the wing nut. Remove the bolt, drill a
hole on it were you made the mark and reinstall it. The only thing you need to keep it from loosening is the wire clip, while the spring washers will prevent rattling. So, when you go off-road, you remove the clips, wing nuts, washers, and bolts (takes only three minutes with your bare hands) and hold the antisway bar up with a bungee cord. I made mine that way about a year ago and they work grate! For the rear bar you only need to replace the stock nut with a flat washer, lock washer and wing nut, but you need to check them frecuently, or you can mount a lock washer and a second wing nut over the first one (if you have room) to keep them locked.
Take care.
