I'm not running a sway bar anymore on my 1995 yj.

I run some Rubicon Express disconnects because they were cheap.

Oh and if you haven't done it already, remove the rear track-bar.  You might consider removing the front but test it out and see if you like it before junking it all together.  The suspension should be a lot softer with the trackbars removed, even if it's just the rear one.

Don't remove your track bars (TJs need them)!  I'm pretty sure the Rubicon Express discos are cheaper.

Whoops, yeah, I got thrown by 1995yj's post.

You'll want to keep your track bars and your swaybars.

RE's are the cheapest out there but they may or may not make some noise.  I never had any problems with them.  I also went with them since on a YJ you can drive without the swaybars and I didn't want to soend a lot on something that I might just remove.  I do like JKS's but they cost a lot more.

On my YJ the trac bars are gone, but I run the swaybar most of the time,
because it helps keep the thing going straight when breaking hard...
Without it the jeep tends to pull to the right...
