Just get a pair of 1/2 hitch pins from the local hardware store, remove the bolt holding the sway bar link to the TTB axle housing, drill out the holes so the 1/2 pin passes through and replace the bolts with the pins. When disconnected tie up the links and bar with a couple of small bungies or make some sort of strap that fastens to the frame in the area where the links and bar swing up into.
Grand total cost - somewhere around $8.00 - add a couple bucks if you need to purchase a good 1/2 drill bit.
Note: Drill slowly - and add some type of coolant (even a slow stream of water) when you drill out the bushing so you don't melt the rubber - or do what I do - press out the bushing and replace it with one that is 1/2" inner diameter. Just press it in with your bench vise or a C-clamp.
Vibes is right! They were proud of them that's for sure. I got them from Warrior Products for about $90.00 but that was in Alaska. Shipping is horrible up there.
This is how I made mine for my ranger a while back same thing I will be making for my ex(when I get around to it). Don't remember the exact cost but it was less then you will pay for shipping on the warrior ones. All parts were bought at Tractor Supply. how to write up
