Default sway bar link

I did a 3" lift and removed/ broke my stock front end sway bar link when I removed it to do my lift . Now I kinda would like to have it back.
My question is . can I use a stock link for a 3" lift or do I need to get a longer one to fit the lift ?
Next question is. If I do need a longer one can I get one off another car in the junk yard?

At 3-4 inches of lift the stock links kept wearing out the bushings. Other than that they did what they are supposed to do. Autozone has lifetime warranty on them and I confirmed with the counter that I could return them for worn bushings. I ended up going a little higher and replacing stock with zone 4.5" links. No more worn bushings.
