Sway Bar End Links

[dirtbike250x]

I just got a 3inch toytec lift and was wondering were to get longer swaybar links?

which endlinks are you trying to replace? If it's the rear (more then likely with a lift) you can get 3rd gen front endlinks to level it back out (I think they are 1-1.5" longer then stock). On mine, i had used land cruiser coils which gave about 3.5" of lift so i used endlinks from a 2nd gen 4runner (about 1" longer over the front 3rd gen endlinks) and that leveled it out.

I have been looking into making my own longer links. It should be too difficult, just a bit of time spent browsing McMaster's webiste. I plan to use these to replace the ball joint:

The PTFE race liner should hold up well.

Build your own sway bar disconnects

Elton, thanks for the link! You should be able to get away with simply using a jamb nut where he welded the rod. That will make it easier for folks to build their own.

ya jam nut will work too

just curious, the swaybar still connects with the lift, you just want to lengthen it for more articulation?

Well, the anti-sway bar is attached to the frame and the axle via that link. When you lift a vehicle with a suspension lift, you separate the frame from the axle. Unless you lengthen the sway bar links, then the sway bar will be in a different position which can cause contact issues. Extending the links will place the bar back at the proper position.

The anti-sway bar will limit articulation when left connected. Quick Disconnects are a way of easily disconnection the sway bar to keep it from limiting your articulation.

It's not a good idea to completely remove the sway bar on a coil sprung vehicle, because you will greatly increase the body roll of the vehicle which can be dangerous in high speed situations.

I cut mine in half and welded an extension to it in the form of a pipe that I slipped over both ends. Mine are 2 inches longer front and back now. Took about 1 hour for all 4.
