So i have about 1/4' gap between my swaybar endlink and my coil after lifting it 3' i know its one of those sleeper problems that will rear its evil head when i am in the middle of nowhere. Seen this before?

It's not bent, it just too short. You need to get extended links and I'd bet you caster is out of adjustment also. DO NOT run with out the front swaybar, bad things can happen.

Use extended sway bar mounting brackets. They'll move the mounting location, if I recall correctly, about an inch lower and forward. This should return the sway bars to the acceptable range of, again if I recall correctly, somewhere in the neighborhood of the 10° to 15° angle. I believe 12° is the preferred angle.

if you have the stock links, get longer ones. But the minimal gap will be fine. you will notice a slight wear mark here and there but thats about it. i ran it like that for a while
