PM me when you're ready. I can give you some more information and some advice.

Got my rear double-disconnects installed today. BEEFY. Took 1 hour. Install was straightforward but see my pics for a helpful hint. You need to remove the wheels.
You will need
- 12mm wrench to remove old top rear
- locking pliers (to prevent bolt spin)
- 3/4 wrench
- 9/16 wrench
FULL PICS/ALBUM HERE
Will update with Front Pictures tomorrow.
Attached is a quick picture of rear:

If payment would have been received on Monday, you'd most likely have them this week. Any further questions please PM me.

Well, not to split hairs, but you also didn't say you required payment before you would order parts. You asked if I wanted them, and I said yes. Generally, that would generate an order. I wasn't beating you up about it, just asking. I feel like your response was a little harsh. A simple, "They'll be on their way soon." Would have sufficed in this instance. Re-read what you type occasionally.

1. I've never bought something and not paid for it. That's like asking CBI to build you a custom bumper, and expecting to pay for it when it's ready. Not going to happen.
2. When you paid me for my custom links, the order starts. I order parts for YOUR order once payment was received. I DO NOT front money for someone else order. Also, I do state 7-10 business days in my description.
3. Sorry if I came off as being harsh. Lots of family shit going on that has me a little more stressed than usual.
4. PM me next time if you have something to ask about your order. It helps to keep my tread about links clutter free.

Nice looking product! I'm considering a purchase.... how do you grease these? How do they hold up to dirt/salt?
I'm just curious if they would require some kind of dust boot for my end of the world....

Putting a boot on them would be the way to go. I've considered adding a boot to these kits, just haven't gotten around to it yet. The heims have Teflon races, so it's not metal on metal.

What's the purpose of disconnecting them ? Like in the pic above I see that little pin with the little ring on it. What's the purpose of that ?

For people that want to disconnect there sway bar when off roading. Rather than using a wrench to remove both nuts. You can pull the pins and the link will come right off.

I'd definitely be interested if they had the boots.... in my climate... I have to think it's a must. I guess I'll keep looking for another alternative... but really like this setup!

If you're interested I can get boots if you want to order a pair? The main reason I haven't gone this route is due to cost. While boots are great, they aren't on the cheap side.

Send me a PM with a price for the links with boots included, and hopefully we can make a deal.
Again, like your product, just need to make sure I can run it in the great white north! lol!

Sway Bar Links
Hi, I finally mounted up the links on my 4th gen, and had a question. Are the threaded studs supposed to be permanently mounted to the vehicle or the links? In other words, when you pull the pins, do the studs come off with the links, or stay on the vehicle?
It seems like the most secure way to mount these would be to permanently mount the studs to the vehicle so that only the links come off. However, when I did this (after trimming excess length on the studs) they still come in contact with each other, preventing me from swinging the bar up and out of the way.
My solution I think, is going to be to leave the upper (the one connected to the A arm) as is, and flip the lower (connected to the sway bar) around so that the whole stud comes out with the link. I may replace the pin with a nut, to prevent slack and movement of the stud within the hole on the sway bar.
Thoughts? Did I mount it up incorrectly?
