Stupid question but how much does space does the Sonoran add?
Spacing the sway bar even 1/4" away from the actuator would help

It adds a lot of space. With the brackets:

The only advantage I see to these relocation brackets is that they create more clearance between the sway bar and the e-locker actuator. But then again, a lift does not change the arc in which the suspension travels, only the resting position - so if Toyota thought that there is enough clearance at factory height, that should still hold with the 2" lift (it's the same as 2" of suspension travel from stock). |
What end links are those?

Man I've no idea how I missed all of these replies... So I've got the brackets and I need to order links. Ordering stock rear links so we will see how well they work with the lift my 890's give.

isnt it recommended that you run a different link if your lifted more than 2 inches and use those brackets. I can say I did NOT when I did a ss lift with those brackets....i only lifted 2 inches.... but....just saying/asking

I don't think anyone knows, or very few people. Once all my parts arrive and I have time to install it all I'll post some photos

I interpret that to mean that you need about 3-4 inches of lift in the rear and stock links for the geometry to be good.

The brackets and stock rear links are designed around a 3-4 inch lift in the rear.

Been there about a year, holding up just fine, other than some light rust you see at the top of the threaded portion. Nothing that some paint won't fix.
