Default f250/350 rear sway bar links for lifted xj fronts?

Anyone actually done this? If so, years, mods and pics? Searching reveals post that say they should work but no one returns to confirm if they actually do. Looking at a 3" lift and do not need discos. Thanks.

As long as they can be bolted on and are 3 in longer than stock ,should work fine.

They appear to have the right shape. According to the measurements on Rock auto, this one is about 4.5" longer than stock at 12.63" vs a stock at 8.25".

Should work if it does get it added to the write up section by a moderator.

I used them on mine. Total cost was like $21.57 with shipping. Got them on Ebay part number MK80015 Interchange number K80015. Way less expensive than kits marketed for the lift. They look identical to stock only longer. Work great. I can take the 401 exit ramps at speed without any body roll. And that's on 33's!


edit: I just checked and they have gone up in price at $26.53 plus shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/140339183486?item=140339183486&viewitem=&sspagenam e=ADME:L:OU:CA:3160&vxp=mtr


You could search part numbers and maybe find them cheaper.

Thanks Jamie. I found that set on eBay but they had no lengths listed so I ended up ordering a set off Rock Auto for $33 shipped. Looks like we need the ones with an E63 axle to get the correct offset ones. I will try and get some side by side pics when I do mine so that we can get a link added to the Junk Yard parts thread.

I know this is a very old post but did you up confirming and buying the MK80015? or did you get a different part number?

Thank you for the reply! That sucks you dont have your XJ but congrats on your new business. I've been apart of this forum for many years but I couldn't remember my old log in as I have taken two years off from ownership myself. This is my 7th XJ build but I wanted to do things a little different and I wanted to keep the rear sway bar this time! Thanks again and maybe we will see you jeerpng soon!

the part #MK80015 is good for a 4.5" lift. How much longer are you needing?
