I am about to do a zone offroad 3in lift on my 99 xj. Am I gonna need to get longer sway bar end links? Also, is the factory track bar still good at 3 in?

Everything should be fine with a basic 3" lift.

i have a 3 in lift, and it didn't need new links.

My endlinks were almost touching the springs after same lift and is currently removed. Trackbar will need drop bracket or longer bar.

I just installed a rough country 3" on my 98 XJ and i ended up breaking an endlink trying to remove it, so for 13.95 each i got 2 new driveworks cheapo end links with new bushings. If you really torque the nut down on the top of the end link the bushings smash and wear quickly because the lift puts some stress on the links. I tightened mine down til the bushings smashed but i didnt go EXCESSIVE with the torque. Drove it around town and rechecked them and they didnt come loose. As for track bar i ran skyjackers track bar relocator bracket, good from 2" to 4" lifts, some frown upon it but ive had no issues?

passenger side end link, driver side end link, and t-bar bracket just to get an idea

So you still used the stock end links?

yes sir, bought new endlinks and bushings that are STOCK cherokee ones. Didnt tighten the crap out of them though because they will get some stress on them with the 3" but I tightened them til the bushings started to smash some then gave it about an extra turn and im good, no loosening and no clunking, handles like stock

I'm on 2in lift. drove it with stock links for a while, then extended the links 2in. it was amazing how much better it handled on the street

I'm on a 6" lift and my sway bar end links are touching the front coil...I've tried to install brackets but it doesn't help...any ideas?

offroadordnance

The brackets should drop the bar as well as relocate it a little further forward. If it's just a chunk and longer bolts it probably moved the bar toward the spring. I made mine with material on hand so they were free. With 6" lift the bar will hang pretty low, for that much lift get longer endlinks.
