I have a set of front quick disconnect end links for 3rd gens. The links and heim joints are unused and have no miles on them. These are the upgraded ones available from MStudt that he sells for $200 (the standard non-disco ones are $160 I believe). I’m asking $140 picked up in Oceanside, Ca 92058 or $150 shipped anywhere in the lower 48.
For full disclosure, I did try to mount one of the clevis and end links last spring and the tack welds on one of the spacer hardware cracked when I tightened it down with a torque wrench (oops). This will not affect the way these function since only one end link needs to be completely removed when wheeling, so leave this one mounted on one side of the vehicle on the sway bar and the LCA and you’re good to go. Or just throw a couple tack welds back on and it’s like new. The clevis saw some surface rust from being on the vehicle unpainted for months that I cleaned up as best I could (the clevis on the end link on the bottom of the first couple photos, just for reference).
I decided to take my sway bar off completely a few years ago and with 650lb coils up front it’s not needed IMO. I was going to run these quick discos just for DD comfort but again, I’m happy without the sway bar at this stage of my build.
