Looks like something someone made up with some bolts, a sway bar link, and some tubing. Would not be too difficult. You would just have to make sure that the diameter of the bolt or rod used was sufficient to hold the pressure after being drilled.

So if now it is a 3/8" bolt that is used on the standard sway bar end link and you were using a 1/4" pin to retain it (the cross pin), you would want to have at least a 1/2" diameter rod to drill through (which is not ideal) with a 5/8" diameter rod being more than adequate. Then you would need some decent wall tubing which had the same ID as the rods OD and fit nice over the rod. Drill everything at once to ensure a proper fit. The ends of the 5/8" rod would need to be tapered down and threaded to accept the stock style bushings.

As far as where to buy them for an s-series application... I do not know, but you can try SynergyOffroad.com. They may have them.

*EDIT* - Looks like that image came from 4crawler.com for $90/pr for the 5" pair. You would have to measure a stock set to see if that would be good enough. It looks like they are using stainless steel which would have a higher tensile strength than the 3/8" bolt so it may not be as big of a problem drilling a hole through it. Just depends on how big you make the hole. THIS LINK details the disconnects pretty well.

There was a guy on Zr2usa that used to make them for about $100. The problem is that you have to be lifted to be able to swing the sway bar around to the front and pin it up. Also you would need some welding ability to get the nuts and washers to stay on the end links.

Great idea though...I'd buy em if someone could make me a set

i think its a cool idea i noticed that my truck when one wheel was higher up ex.snow drift the body would follow the suspension trying to level it out i know that what sway bars are suppose to do but by being able to disconnect those sway bars you could get more suspension movement but i then again i want some stability on the high way so i thought these would be cool

any way i will try to make some prototypes this spring (cant do it when 2 1/2 feet of snow is out side) and i think if i don't it would be a good product for synergy off road should make (I've seen some of there products and all i can say great job and hopefully i can become a customer soon)

anyone else got an opinion
