Making your own sway bar disconnects is very simple. You can do this with any vehicle, but this article will be based upon making sway bar disconnects for a Jeep Wrangler (YJ/TJ) using the stock components.
Your first method is simple. What you do is take your stock sway bar end links, and cut them in half. You then grab your welder and weld a sleeve to the upper end link, just big enough for the bottom end link to slide in. Slide them together and align them properly, then drill a 1/4" hole through both the sleeve and the bottom endlink. Take a 1/4" cotterless hitch pin and insert one into each end link.... And now you have $5 sway bar disconnects.
For a Jeep TJ (97-06), you can buy two 2 1/2"x7/16" Clevis pins, two Cotter Pins, and four 7/16" washers. Remove the lower bolt on your sway bar end links and insert the cotter pin with a washer on both sides. Slide in your clevis pin, and you now have a cheap sway bar disconnect.
These mods are not recommended for road use, and I assume no responsibility for your modifications.
