TK sliders are not disconnects...they give about 3-4 inches of slide but do
not allow the springs to fall out like removing the rear swaybar would(which
is the origional question). Operating a TJ with no swaybars attached would
be very unsafe.

I speak from experience...TK sliders aren't worth the money. They're noisy,
they make the rear swaybar hang too low, they just don't add much if any
real-world advantage and they are a pain in the a$$ to re-connect.
