Ive got a 3.5 inch lift. My rear links feel too long even though theyre the length suggested by the lift manufacturer. On a lift there’s enough length that the axle droops so much that the springs can fall out. The front is easy to measure with the sway bar angle. Can anyone give me some guidance.

I've got the same question. Also, where can I purchase some extended rear sway bar links? I've put together a lift myself and have literally everything but can't find extended rear links. The ones I did find on Northridge4x4 were custom length ones by EVO. I'm not sure of the correct length to order. I'm going to be running 3" Fabtech springs front and rear. Thanks!

From what I've gathered, for a 3 - 3.5" lift, the rear sway bar links need to measure in the 13" area. Different lifts yield different results, but 13" seems like a good ball park to start with.

It depends on rear shock extended length, not lift height. How long of a shock will you be running? I’m running 28” long shocks, and the Metalcloak 12.25” sway bar links are perfect.

Thank you for the input. I'll be running Fox 2.0 shocks for 3" lift, model 985-24-220.

Specs say they extend to 29.69

Please elaborate. I’m running the fox 3.5-4 inch lift? Mainly the issue is my rear feels a little floaty, which is why I feel mine may be a little long

Also how are you measuring? Center to center, just the middle bar, or entire end link

Metal cloak makes them for their 3.5 but they are only 12.25????
How much rear shock travel is there with that Metalcloak lift? That dictates how long the sway bar links should be. The recommendation is for the end link to be as long as the shock travel, if not a little longer.

I don’t know. All I know is my rear feels a tad floaty. Could care less about travel. At least in my case

My first thought is “set the links to have your sway bar parallel with the ground on a level surface.” I did a few minutes of research and came up with this...maybe it helps. Pay attention to which photo is for front and which is rear. It is indicated in the literature.
