imo electric sway bar disconnect is horrible, it would be better to run the disconnect pints in the sport bar tbh
I've never had experience with an electric sway bar disconnect. I just see that everyone seems to want one. Not to jump on the band wagon or anything but apparently its convenient for everyone. Obviously it would depend on the diver, and since I do not do much offroading, I wouldn't need it. But I wish I could get into more offroading. Wrapped up in school though.

the problem and this is just opinion but the electric disconnect isn't a true disconnect so you are limited by some travel, however there are some kits out there that are much cheaper than the electric option, do you have to get out of the jeep? yep but most take 5-10 secs per side to disconnect, some have turn valves that you turn 90 degrees to unlock, some are a pin you remove.

Plenty of great QD options out there or you can just invest a little more for an Antirock swaybar. I've had my Antirock for almost a year now and really enjoy the simplicity of not having to do anything when transitioning from road to trail and back again. That said, if you don't go offroad much, then perhaps this is N/A. Either way, I hope your JL lasts a long time and you are able to enjoy it thoroughly.

Seems to me there was a salesman who chimed in on this question and he said his recommendation was to either go with a Sport S or a Willys (mostly for the beefed up brakes and suspension) and upgrade from there with what you want rather than what you're given.
