Very cool. How hard is it to get them off/on and do you get any noise from them? The JBA version come with that clamp that's supposed to compress the bushing; i believe that was needed because our vehicles had a lot of issues with noise if there wasn't about preload..
Yes there was some noise b/c there is a small amount of space between the pin and the A arm plate/sway bar. No preload=slight clunking noise.
It is very easy to get them off. Of course, all you do is pull the pin and slide the link off of the stud. I grease the studs every so often to help with sliding them on and off. It helps a lot to be on level ground (i.e. parking lot).
But I have been running with only 1 link connected for over 7 months now. The other link is off and inside the jeep, lol. I like this a lot better, it rides better, less clunk (not sure if that was the problem in the first place) and when I go offroading, I just air down and go. No more crawling under it pulling off the discos.

I have the jba discos. They came with a washer to get rid of that gap. There's no noise but need a tool to take them on and off. I ended up notching a groove in the easher for the pins. This made it easy to take on and off and still being able to get rid of the noise.
Jba also made rear links. Not discos. And i think he was thinking about making a rear link extender that just bolts on the stock rear link to cut the cost

I'll be looking at this more closely when I modify my OME. But I do need a 1-stop-shop for front and rear disco's. I hate mix and matching.

I wonder if the JKS fronts can be modified a bit to work like the JBAs.... probably just need a washer and to modify a c-clamp to squash the lower bushing.
I don't really understand why everyone with the JBA links talks about squashing the bushing. Do the links form JBA not come with the bushings already in the link? The JKS ones that I have came with the bushings in them. All I did was remove the stock link, take the screw studs outta the box, screw them in and slid the JKS links on, slide in the pin and bam, discos.

The JBA links do come with bushings.... that's not the problem.
You squash the bushing on the JBA version everytime you install it on the pin. This makes the bushing "squeeze" the pin and supposedly mitigates the noises (from what I've read).
