I need some extended sway bar links. Anyone know a good place to get em? Not interested in the disconnects, just regular stock-styled links long enough for a 3-4" lift.

Cut and sleeve your stock links if you dont want discos. WARNING: Fabbing and welding involved.

I planned on that. I found a local welder but he wants $50 to do the mod. I found extended sway bar links for my tj for $30 so it's cheaper to find extended links than have this dude weld it. My bushings are pooped out anyways.

Get on Craig's List and find a used one. Don't start with a stick welder. They are harder to learn on. Just teach your self. Practise is the best teacher. Classes teach theory and all but a welder in your hands teaches fundamentals, which is what you need. Learned on a stick welder when I was a kid. Can't weld worth a damn on one now. Just use the MIG welder. My buddy has been trying (unsuccessfully) to teach me to TIG but my stuff still looks pretty crappy. Mig is as easy as soldering IMHO.

Certainly cheap enough and looks like they are the length that you wanted. Take some more pics of them installed. Warrior Products has an excellent reputation too.

Think i will have to order me a set of those. look like they could make good disconnects also if you put a pin in the bottom. I really like the price.
