Is this a normal angle for stock sway bar?

If you don't offroad, instead of extending the links you could put a spacer in between the frame and the main sway bar mounts. The amount of spacer should match the amount of lift and it brings the geometry back to normal and it doesn't weaken the end link by extending them. Any iron or steel fabrication shop will cut you a slab of bar stock or steel rectangle. It just needs to have a footprint slightly larger than the current mount and you get the height for what you need

thanks... knowing where to measure is a plus so I get the right length part.
I only have a 2" lift. As far as offroading.... occasionally just mild to moderate trails, nothing crazy.
I mean... I seriously doubt anyone here myself included, have our old jeeps because we want a mall-crawler/ mall-queen. Our XJs were designed to be little tanks and we use them

Check out a Moog K80015. They are off the rear of 80's era 2wd ford trucks. We have 3 inches of lift, and they fit perfect. I'll snap a pic of how that setup looks and post it in a bit. I know you only have 2 inches of lift, but they might get you closer to what you want.
