@JMT mentioned this in another post. While this is probably the easiest "how to" you'll find, I figure that it is probably worth making a "how-to" article on, just so new members can read it.
If you have the money, I highly suggest avoiding disconnects altogether and doing it the right way by purchasing a Currie Antirock. If you want a cheaper disconnect that is built really well, the JKS quick disconnects are another, more affordable option.
If you're trying to save every penny you can and do things on the cheap, then continue reading!
Parts you'll need:
2-1/2"x7/16" Clevis Pins (2)
Cotter Pin (2)
7/16" Grade 5 or better washers (4)
You can get these parts at ACE Hardware. Just make sure to get the highest grade you can, Grade 5, but preferably Grade 8.
Here's a photo of the parts you'll be purchasing:
Once installed, they'll look like this:
Here's another shot too:
All you're doing there is removing the torx bolts that connect the stock sway bar links to the sway bar. Once that's done, you're replacing them with the clevis pins. That will allow you to easily slide the clevis pins out (once you remove the cotter pin) on the trail, therefore disconnecting your sway bars.
You'll have to bring some rope or zip ties to fasted the swap bar disconnects up and out of the way (or come up with a cool solution), but you get the idea.
This is really, really simple.
