Megadan Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I finally got around to doing my small lift on my truck, ended up with 2.5" front via factory measure between axle and frame. Now, I knew I would need longer links, and I do have a set of late model XJ links on hand, which are 1" longer than my factory links, but obviously not long enough to set the bar at the correct position to keep the ends level. That, and it's closer to the coils than I would like. Are there any other off the shelf links that are a bit longer I could use, or am I pretty much destined to use swaybar drop brackets to get everything square? I don't really like the idea of dropping the bar down if I don't have to, so alternatives are welcomed.Also, while I would love a set of disconnects, they aren't in the budget (or needed) at this point. I don't do any serious wheeling outside of some rarely used dirt paths on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megadan Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Finally got a chance to install them, but I figured I would take a comparison photo between the two for reference in the future.I needed new links anyway, as you can see by the state of the bushings. It's worth noting that these along with a 2+" lift will not restore it to perfectly level, but close. I may still end up doing some kind of bar drop bracket. On the up side, they don't contact the springs, so good enough for now.Not the best image, but they are about 1.7" longer from the lower bolt center to the middle gap between the two bushings.
