Considering the LC springs lift the rear by about 3" (or more when fresh), the links would end up being a little shorter than ideal. I "think" (not knowledgeable about suspension geometry) ideally, the sway bar should be horizontal at normal ride height.
When I put on my SS1.2 kit, I had also gotten new front sway bar links, but they ended up too short. I then got some Gen 2 rear links and put them in the front, and everything works great. My plan is to use the original front links in the back as they are a little longer and will flatten out the sway bar position. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

From the SS website regarding the rear sway bar brackets:
"You MUST use stock length rear 3rd gen 4Runner end links. Those are actually a bit too long already so your longer than stock links are not going to work."
