Default extended eye-eye sway bar links?

Where can i get some? I need some front extended links cuz i went up to 4.5" and my current links are too short. I already have the bracket that converts the stud to eye, just need extended links. I can't seem to find any that aren't SUPER expensive. I don't need disconnects.

If you know anywhere that sells me, let me know.


thanks

This is what RE has to offer:

http://www.rubiconexpress.com/Produc...=17F46D7971108

I don't know if the link is 6" eye to eye or for a 6" lift? It isn't clear in the description. I also don't know if these have the bend in them that front sway bars have. The picture shows a straight link, which wouldn't work well (tried this before). Anyone have info on this?

Here's another dealer that stocks it:

http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/...-ZJ-p-991.html

Of course it has to state which lifts it is for on all but the xj.

I really wish these were for the front cuz i'd grab a set right now. Nice to have something like that, non-disconnect. Bummer it's only for the rear....

I might just go with this drop bracket if i can't find anything.

call up poly performance and ask them for measurements. the TJ rears and XJ fronts are the same mounting size IIRC. poly has VERY VERY good customer service and will help you out.

Do you happen to know the part number of the links that came with your kit?

Yeah i think so too. This is what i run right now:

http://www.tellico4x4.com/product_in...1feda306f89d75


The link is too short for my lift. I think its' ideal for 3" lift, not higher.

That's the one i was looking at. It says 6". Is that the length eye-to-eye or for up to 6" lift?
