Junkyard swaybar end links for around 6.5" lift?
My jeep is lifted 6.5" and I'm still running stock sway bar links 
I am on a very tight budget and I have looked at a lot of different threads saying using f150, f250, f350, explorer, tj, wj, and yj, links will give you a longer end link, but the junkyards around here don't allow me to just go in and look at the part before I buy it, so I need someone to tell me how I can get a longer end link from a JY that will fit with the least amount of modification.
My original plan was to use yj or tj links which I've heard are 3" longer and then boost them up a couple inches with some 2" threaded nuts. Would this work or is there a better way? Thanks in advance

Remove your factory links.
Go to a steel shop and get some 1/2" .120 wall TUBE.
Cut your links in half, add the desired about of tube in the middle and weld up the ends. It MIGHT cost ya 20 bucks in the end.

Get some 2x2 box tubing. Cut it a little longer than your swaybar bracket. Drill holes in the 2x2 that correspond with the mounting holes for the swaybar bracket. Get bolts that are 2 1/4" longer. BAM! Swaybar drop brackets on the cheap
