So you couldn’t afford a Rubicon either? I chose to purchase my Wrangler new because I remember how I treated my YJ when I wheeled it!
When I decided it was time that I needed a Jeep again, I knew that I was going to purchase new, and I knew that a Rubicon model was not in the budget. Knowing that there is no mechanical difference between the Sport, Sport S and Sahara JK’s vs. the Rubicon, I purchased a Sport S.
And what does every non-Rubicon Jeep owner want to do? Build their Jeep into a Rubicon! I knew that my first step towards Rubicon capability was to add sway bar quick disconnects.
The Rubicon model comes from the factory with an electronic front sway bar disconnect to allow for greater front axle articulation. With the push of a button while in 4-Low, under 18 MPH, the front sway bar can be disconnected with the push of a button. If you don’t have a Rubicon, which I don’t, you have to add this capability for greater front axle articulation.
The first sway bar quick disconnects system I installed was the Teraflex 1753010 JK/JKU 0-2.5” Lift Front Sway Bar Quick Disconnect Kit (8-1/2”)
I liked this system as it is simple to install, and you only have to remove the lower mounting, and the sway bar quick disconnects lock into the lock-pin that is installed to the bottom of the front core support.

I neglected to add the JKS 2039 Sway Bar Lanyard Kit

I would argue that an investment in sway bar quick disconnects is better that lockers! My Sport is a little more capable with sway bar quick disconnects!
If you are like me and don’t have a Rubicon, or maybe you do have a Rubicon, I highly recommend investing in sway bar quick disconnects!
