I would just go with quick disconnects. They aren't cheap but I believe you can use the front on the rear since they're longer and then you might be able to just get a set for tr he front.
I might be misquoting on this so take it with a grain of salt. The search will bring it up though.

Here's another, cheaper, option. Honestly the best modification I have done for my 4Runner HANDLING-wise.

I did the same thing as Wilson, they are 100% more beefier than factory, the poly bushings will last longer, I never looked into the price of factory, this is an easy beginner mod, first thing I did on my truck since the PO sold it to me with them broke haha! I maybe had 80-100$ in the front and rear, if you have a lift the bigger links will really help out the way your truck drives, I find myself taking corners fast all the time with my beefy links.
the above cost includes front and rear endlinks and swaybar bushings

I picked up some front links with poly bushings for the rear at auto zone. Running OME 890s and I can't complain.

Nicely done! I like them...
However, I am really interested in having quick-release endlinks on my rig. Could quick-release ones be made using that style, or something? I might need to run to the hardware store. I'm sure it can be done. If anyone has done them or has tips, let's hear them.
Thanks for the link and suggestion. I think I will go with this option, looks very easy and way better than stock setup.

I honestly think that this is more than "quick" enough for me... I don't ever plan on releasing them, but if I wanted to I think it would take me about 5 seconds each side... Just undoing that one nut on the eye bolt.
Or in about 10 seconds each side you could undo to top/bottom of the endlink and leave the eye bolt attached. Use the eye bolt to somehow keep the sway bar from flopping around. If you have a 14mm box wrench just slide it over the top bolt (frame side) and let it rotate until it catches on the tire or wheel well, then undo the bottom with a ratchet. Super easy/fast.
Yeah ive been in the wheeling scene for years just new to Toyotas, and I always laughed at guys(usually jeep guys for some reason) that spend hundreds of dollars on quick disconnects. Like seriously what does it take 5 min tops to remove front and back swaybar links? is that not quick enough lol.

Off topic, but yeah, I agree. I have only gone out really "wheeling" a couple of times. Once with a group of jeeps who ALL had these fancy quick disconnects which utilized a locking pin of some sort... Literally every single person had issues with on of their pins being seized or breaking on removal.
After extending your end-links to achieve factory geometry shouldn't you THEORETICALLY be able to cycle your suspension bump to bump with the sway bar installed? (If you've addressed your bump stops after lifting, of course)
I don't know... I do know, however, that I'd rather spend that ~$200 on something else.
