sway bar links

[410toy]

when you do a suspension lift on a vehicle in this case a 4Runner do you need to get longer sway bar links as well? 2 inch lift ,2 inch longer sway bar links?



I also have some stuff for sale in the classified section under garage sale if anyone is interested

Generally you don't, because most lifts do not increase wheel travel, they simply change the location that the vehicle sits within a given area. However, as the suspension nears its extremes of travel, the sway bars are under more torque/load and this may effect the ride quality particularly when cornering. Use your own judgment there.
If you are increasing the wheel travel by a lot then analyzing the full suspension geometry may be worthwhile.

I just put on a 4" rear lift from Sonoran Steel and it came with some sway bar relocation brakets that only move it up 1" and Steve @ Sonoran says it isnt necessary to get longer end links. So far have not had any issues with ride quality or articulation off road, but it does look kinda weird with it pointing that steep.

You can always order the relocation brackets from him to help out with your lift.

usually its best to have the sway bar ends level to the ground. Of course this is from a sports car perspective, i don't have near the experience w/ truck side of the automotive world.
