Thoughts on JKS quick disconnects. I saw that for the JL, you have to cut a piece off to install. Does this mean you can never go back? What the general opinion on having to cut something like that off.

Yes, you have to cut passenger side tab off the axel to utilize these links.
I had mine for over 80k miles no issue. If you want to go back tab will have to be welded back but you wont go back.
Good luck.

I have them for my JK and while they're a little different than a JL, I will say that their finish has just not held up at all. Corroded pretty fast and so much so that they seized up and can't be adjusted anymore. Luckily they still operate just fine and haven't changed my lift height since adding them, but if I was to do it again I'd get a used Rubicon sway bar and add something like this:

Likewise. After I bought my JKUX new in 2008, the JKS front sway bar disconnects were one of the first of many modifications. My experience was OK, except it rains a lot at times in the PNW and I hate crawling around in the slop and mud, so as soon as I could afford it, they were replaced with a Currie AntiRock RockJock front sway bar. While not an actual disconnect, I was so impressed that I eventually added the Currie rear sway bars, not only on the JK, but on my wife's TJ. After checking out the other Jeeps at this year's @wayoflife New Year's Run, there were many others running these swaybars. The fronts cost about $650 uninstalled and if that works for you, @RitaRunner, I'd skip the JKS.
