Hey all,
I've got a 3.5" front / 2" rear skyjacker lift kit. My oem rear sway bar links are ~10.5" eye to eye. The replacement ones that came with the lift kit, that are currently installed, are ~12.5" eye to eye.
Here's where it gets weird. I am installing a modified DV8 rear skid plate and I need some clearance to avoid the sway bar contacting. I've ordered a pair of Icon rear sway spacers, that will drop the rear sway bar ~1". This will give me the clearance I need for the diff skid, but I am concerned how it will affect the sway bar.
Since my geometry is "corrected" by the longer sway links from the lift kit, by dropping the sway bar an inch, would that mean I need to shorten the links by one inch to avoid screwing up the back end? Or can I just let it ride?
Hopefully some of y'all are picking up what I'm putting down and can support. Thanks.
