Quick disconnect Sway bar end links... A source??

[M_RED]

I did a cursory search and all I am really finding is adjustable length sway bar end links, but none that are quick disconnect types...

Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent set of end links with the ability to disconnect quickly? I like the JK ones popular with the Jeep folks, but don't see anything that would fit a 5th Gen 4Runner....


-EDIT-
Or does anyone have a source for just individual components? i.e. someplace I can just buy the ball joints and top rubber grommets?

It was MStudt or something like that on here. He was making really nice sets. I will see if I can find the info

Coming from the Tacoma world, the sway bar would be in the way if disconnected. I'm not sure if the Runner's sway bar is the same but that's why Toyota added KDSS to the Runner so allow for extra movement but it isn't a full disconnect.

Well, I searched a bit, and kinda found what I wanted, but not exactly what I want... so Maybe I will try to build something myself...

In the meantime, here is 2nd gen rear links that are just a hair over 1 inch longer than 5th gen ones, and way cheap. THey should be an easy replacement.. bolt right in..

About 20 bucks on Amazon...

ProForged 113-10144
ACDelco 45G0263
General Motors 89056190
Moog K80380
Rare Parts 18814
Raybestos Chassis 545-1263
XRF K80380

I think these should fit too, but vary from .5 to just hair under 1 in longer I think:
ACDelco 45G0263:
Moog K80469:
Skyjacker SBE702:

For that first batch of part numbers, here is the stock link vs the 2nd Gen MOOG pcs..
It's about an inch longer and puts the sway bar in a pretty good spot, I'm happy with the angels..
(I know the paint looks a little cheesy, but after living in the midwest for quite some time and learning to fear the rust, I figured an extra coat of paint wouldn't hurt... Probably needed to be a shade darker to better match Fox Red... oh well)

This should be fine until I work on the quick disconnect idea I have..

I tried those moogs too and they were absolute garbage. after 1 winter i heard unbearable creaking from the rear and had a difficult time finding it. I finally found out it was the ball joints in the moogs. they are very prone to rust even though I keep everything well cleaned through the winter. Not sure if it would help if you injected grease into the boots, but mine went straight into the trash.

Same, bunch of hot creaky garbage. Just swapped mine out for some overland custom design endlinks.
