I have a couple questions about sway bar link length. I bought 3" fixed sway bar links since I was getting a 3" lift. Since then I have decided to correct my shackle angle which will give me about 1" of lift. So to balance it out I plan on adding a 1" spacer in front. I have noticed looking at other fixed sway bar links for sale and it will say its for a 4-6" lift. When I bought my Zone fixed 3" all it said was 3". So I would like to know if anyone knows what lift range my links are in, maybe 2-4"?

It would be helpful if someone could let me know the exact length of a stock link then I could figure it out myself. Or someone who can tell me the length of their links and how much lift they have. Thanks.

The end link length shouldn't matter at the height you're at. The swaybar will rotate down in it's bushings to reach stock length end links.

At how many inches of lift is it necessary to get longer links? I understood that the bar can swivel in its bushings to allow for shorter links, but I thought that how the mount on the sway bar is normally in a parallel position to the ground, that turning the bar inside the bushings would **** that mounting point to an angle?

At 3" of lift my stock links were rubbing the springs. I'm still trying to get some longer links sorted out.

If you got 3" extended links for your lift, and you are now adding 1" to your present lift the 3" extended links should work OK.
I would go ahead and try it then if you have any problems with the length look for something different.
