Well I just dont know if its too long, or if the sway bar is too high now? Also the back side of the bolt that holds the top bracket in scrapes the driver side inner fender well. if you look closely you can see kind of a faint white line. it appears as though the sway bar is shifted a bit toward the passenger side as i can fit a finger behind the end of the bolt on the passenger side.

any tips? I mean i should probably get new sway bar bushings cause they look pretty toasted. But that wouldnt make the sway bar sit any lower.

Mine sits about that low. Did those links come in your kit? And you should be able to ouch the sway bar towards the drivers side with relative ease.

no they didnt come with the kit, i bought them from rough country, but they are out of their 4.5 kit, told me they would work, and my lift is about 4.5 right now. I just didnt know if the sway bar is too high.

yes it is to long if you wheel with the sway bar. on the street it will be fine. but if not you will punch holes in the metal...

but if i am not mistaken the top bracket is backwards that will help lower it. the sway bar needs to go between the bracket and the link.

I dont think its on wrong, here is a pic from RC that i snapped of the install manual.

hmmm. well I mounted mine the other way when I ran sway bars and it helped. Wasnt sure about RC.

Measured and the ones on there are about 10" eye to eye center, I still have a stock one and that appears to be about 6.25 inches from the top of the bottom bushing to the center of the eye. so i have about 3.75-4" difference, which would seem about right, i know i put the 3.5 lift kit on it, but the first measurement I took was sitting about 4.5 over stock.

Hoooper

yeah, its definitely installed right but its also too high. The bolt surface should be just above level with the ground

Converted96

So that upper bracket shouldn't be at that much of an angle then? That top nut on the upper bracket should almost be parallel with the ground?

yes just like the pic shown in the RC photo , if you cant adjust the links
you have the wrong ones

Nickell586

Should be alright. Mine r adjustable and I have them about that high. If I adjust them lower then they're too close to the coil

Converted96

Thanks for the info. Got some info from a few places.

IRO links for are 8.75 inches
RE links are 6, which is too short, that's stock length
RE also has adjustables that are 8 to start with that come with their 4.5 kits
Rc only sells 10" for their 4.5 and 6, they use the same ones

Zone has adjustables from 7.75 to 9 3/4, for 3-4.5 lift. I may go this direction and sell these ones.

To long of discos

Converted96

i have a 3.5 lift, really like 4". That length wouldn't be right on the adjustables? or are you saying that the ones I have are too long?
