After lift questions...
So i've lifted 3in and need new front sway bar links. Are there any brands out there that make longer ones? If so how long am I looking for?
Also for the rear i've read on here that I could use the 95s rear sway bar links to extend the rear links. Are there any better options or should I just go with those? Should I also get the panhard drop kit, it looks pretty expensive for something so simple.
Do I also need extended front brake lines? Toytec is currently sold out of extended front lines.
Any help on this would be great

Extended brake lines aren't necessary. I kept stock end-links but replaced the bushings (front and rear with poly). Seems fine to me. As far as I can tell, others like beefier or quick-connect ones. Others say "get rid o' them sissy bars." I personally do not like the ride without the sway bars (mostly DD). As far as the panhard bar drop, check this thread Panhard drop I got one when I ordered all my other stuff from Toytec. Welding it on this weekend. I installed my 3" lift almost 3 weeks ago. took post measurements last week and things were still a bit off. I'm willing to bet the panhard bar is responsible -

The threads that attach to my lca are worn out so the bolt wont hold tight and results in clicking and knocking when i hit bumps. So i need some new ones. Im going to keep the bars on I drove once with them off and it was horrifying haha. Put having to weld it on sucks but ill prob have it done.
Thanks for the help

If you will be off roading with articulation, I would get the rear brake line extension. Better safe than sorry. I would also suggest getting an adjustable panhard bar. Mine is Sonoran Steel but I believe Toytec has them too. These are my opinions. You should try searching this subject on google and/or here. You will find many with debates on what is best to do. This way you can make a decision that makes sense to you.

what post measurements are you referring to; was the axle pushed over to the passenger side?

Hub to fender measurements. Don't have the numbers in front of me but they weren't matching from side to side. Though, the new springs and shocks haven't been on there for very long. What I'm referring to with the panhard bar, if it's pulling the axle to the passenger side due to higher angle, you'd get a small dip on the driver's side measurement. I'll try and post some numbers up later -

Same as your '97 except I put OME 890's instead of LC's. Allright, just took some fresh measurements:
Pre-Lift (already had the Bilstein 5100 Taco's at lowest setting, which are slightly longer than stock shock)
Front D -21.5 Front P -21.5
Rear D -21 Rear P -21
After Lift (3 weeks since installation)
Front D -23.75 Front P -23.75
Rear D -23.25 Rear P -23.75
I do have alloy spare w/265/75/16 underneath, so I guess I averaged about 2.5" of lift. However, I'm sitting .5" lower in driver rear. I've got a half tank of gas right now (I did install the OME's correctly, A driver, B passenger). I'm curious to install the panhard drop and take measurements afterwords -
