Anyone add manual swaybar disconnects to their rig?

[Bing]

Has anyone had any manual swaybar disconnects to their rig? I randomly fell into a Black diamond about three months ago and find myself wanting more features. I was up in Northern Michigan last weekend and busted a CV axle, but that's another thread. Lost some confidence in the Bronco.

However, I like the ride and way it looks, but not sure if I should continue to add upgrades to my existing rig or just put in an order for a higher level trim package.
My apologies but I haven't researched the manual sway-bars topic for a Black Diamond. Thoughts appreciated.

Thanks,
-Brad

I can't wait for that "other thread". That might provide insights into the sway bar ask.

There are several companies that are offering manual disconnects. Google Sasquatch Links from AC FAb or just take a wrench , the correct allen wrench and a zip tie/bungee/velcro strap.

Probably takes 10 minutes to do it with the proper tool. Caveat ..... my Bronco is still on order so the info is worth what your paying.

@kodiakisland has a black diamond and has added a manual swaydisc to it. He has a nice build thread and gets as much out of a black diamond as anyone here.

EDIT. I stand corrected. I guess he manually disconnects it himself and zip ties it up.

I got the ones from ACFAB. Install went smooth, works well.

If your Black Diamond is not Sasquatch, it will have the smaller M190 front diff with their own unique CV axles. I'm sure somebody has broken an M210 CV axle too, but I just haven't seen it yet. You can now buy HD CV axles direct from Spicer.

AC Fab, Oscar is a nice guy and is on this forum. Many threads on here about install. However, they're labeled Sasquatch links. I don't know if thats a marketing thing or if theres a fundamental difference in swaybars sas vs non sas.

Yes, several have. I guess I look at what happened to @SFAforester and his manual disconnects and have just stuck to 10 minutes with an impact wrench and zip ties. Definitely increases articulation.

Did a quick search & can't find the thread you are referenceing. Are we talking failure or breakdown while disconnecting /reconnecting?

In his thread about the Mexico trip. End links wore through from daily rough driving and then caused more damage. Not a problem if you are inspecting them daily, but not something I want to deal with when I can do the same thing for the cost of a zip tie. Mine will rarely be connected anyway.
