Put my 3" trail master lift kit on last week and broke my other sway bar link. (One was already broke) so I got tired of dealing with the crappy ride from no sway bar being attached so I did this.

Welded some 3/8" bolts to the top of the old bar links.

Don't worry I'm gonna put real ones in after I get my adjustable track bar. Just did this for the time being. Think it'll do for now or am I asking for trouble?

Don't get me wrong it's hilarious, but yeah it'll work and even if it breaks you can weld it again

The welds look kinda ugly but if they hold that's all that matters.

Yeah I just got tired of the wobbly front end when hitting bumps. Hopefully I can get the adjustable track bar I need here in a week or so then swap these out for new ones. I wasn't really worried about the welds looking all purtyfied. They hold at least

Don't worry, I ordered my new track bar this morning so hopefully by this weekend it'll all be back to normal. I just couldn't stand the weeble wobble any longer.
