Need a new front sway and links, OEM or upgrade?

[Jester4kicks]

Hey all, been a while. My runner is about to become my primary vehicle again, and I'm looking to make it a bit more drivable on the roads.

A few years ago, I removed my front sway bar to soften the ride a bit (had just installed my OME 885's and they were a bit stiff). They've since softened up a bit though, and the roll of death when turning is annoying.

The question is this; do I look for just an OEM swaybar, links, and bushings or should I shoot for an aftermarket setup? I figure the OEM would be cheaper (if I can find one), but the aftermarket might be better for the ~3" lift.

Thoughts?

I have a set of front sway bar links from Mstudt that I never ended up using that I'll sell you.

I may take you up on that. Are they direct OEM replacements, or are they intended for use with a lift?

Direct replacement I believe, but can be used with the lift. Not sure if you need the relocation brackets or not. I never actually tried to line them up, sway bar came off and stayed off. Also have my sway bar and brackets if you need that too.

The standard work with the lift - I like the OEM myself and have the same set-up.

I have my OEM sway bar and All Pro adjustable End links as well if needed.

Thanks! I didn't mean for this to turn into a WTB thread, but I'll definitely PM you if Drunner's offer doesn't pan out.

Back to the real intent of the thread, did you upgrade to a different sway bar, or did you just remove the OEM and run without it? Just wondering if I should be looking at buying an aftermarket bar if I'm going to be spending money anyway.
