I measured from axle to frame in the front, i got 10.00 - 6.75 = 3.25 lift. I could have easily been off by .25 making it a 3 inch lift. Talking to a tech guy on the phone he had me measure the springs in the front they were 15 inches...so he tells me I have a 3 inch lift going off of the spring measurement.



SO I think I have a 3 inch lift. Now I don't know where to find swaybar links that will fit. (recently purchased a XJ and discovered there is no front swaybar, so i'm attempting to add one) I currently have some moog Links that has been suggested I could have someone weld and extend them to the size they need to be....any help would be greatly appreciated.

It seems if I was to have someone cut and weld/extend them that I would need them to have 3 inches of length added BELOW the lip which the swaybar rests on. Or should I just take these back and maybe someone knows what links i need to purchase?

These are for 3-4" lifts:

Or you can go adjustable:

These are just examples of what's out there.

The first one is the problem i've ran into, they are both eye holes where as what i need is an eyehole on the bottom and a thread on the top. found plenty of links that are for 3 inch but they have eyeholes on both ends and i am new to all this and don't know how i would make the eye hole on the top work.

the 2nd one looks like something that would work, however pricey and a bit excessive for what i need

These show the brackets that connect to the sway bar:

I have a little over 3 inches of lift and I went to the junkyard and took the links out of a 1990 f250. Worked perfectly and really cheap.

JKS 2000 would fit a 3" lift iirc. Definitely recommend quick/quicker disconnects.

Another vote for the JKS, I love mine. I cut and welded in a section of 1/2" round stock in my stock ones to extend them initially. Worked fine on the road. Off road they folded up like a pretzel. If you only drive it on the road, cut and weld is a good option. Very cheap. If you off road at all, either remove the modified links every time or buy the JKS.

Yes, there are 3 different sets of JKS discos available:

#2002: 0-1.5" lift
#2000: 2-3.5" lift
#2001: 4-6" lift

I have a 2" lift and the 2002s, and they're nowhere near fully extended. They would work OK on a 3" lift as well, depending on how you're bump-stopped for up-travel.

I like my Rusty's QDs, but I had to modify them to work with the Rusty's 3.5" Advanced lift kit I installed. They wouldn't adjust short enough.

I have 3 to 3.5 lift on my 91 and I had to extend my end links too. I cut the ends off and bent a 3" longer piece of 5/8" solid rod and welded that to the OE ends to make my longer stronger end links.

If you have a stock pair of end links and want to send them to me I will do the same to yours. All it will cost you is the cost of shipping!

Thank you guys for all the input. Wow Dennis such a great offer I would have never imagined anyone offering to do that for me but I already bought Rustys adjustable links. They arent on yet cause i have failed to get the pressed bolts out....and now i'm going to replace those lower mounts that weld to the frame. maybe someday i'll get this job done....

Getting the bolts out is easy work. Cut the heads off the bolts, put some washers on the bolt, tighten the nut down. The bolt will pull right through.

I need to spend more time on this forum I am realizing I would have learned alot more about what I am trying to do.
