Just unscrew the bottom nut and bolt on both sides and swing the bar and links
up towards the fenders. I've used cable ties, wire and an old dog collar to
hold the sway bar up. If you want you can push the links in towards the frame
if you want, but I never had any problems with them getting in the way.

Re: Quick disconects
Is the sway bar that little vertical bar in that picture. Looks a bit like
a pitman arm??
I thought it was a horizontal bar that ran on an angle...??

Re: Quick disconects
It is one big massive bar that connects the two sides of the suspension
together via those vertical bars or sway bar links. It is the links
folks disconnect.
