Default sway bar link question.

ive got a 98' limited. 4.0l with a RC 4.5 short arm kit and a .75 spacer kit. when i did the install i did not use the links supplied in the kit, i used a set of quick discos that i got from a swap meet. i think theyre from RE but were taller than the ones in the kit i had. i installed them anyway. three weeks later im thinking that the middle tube of the links is too tall because my sway bar sits too high when the jeep is on level ground. and when i hit a bump the front is super stiff. what i was thinking is to remove the middle tubes and cut some off and re-install them. question is how much? if theres anyone who can shed some light id greatly appreciate it.. thanks guys!!

I believe that the eye that attaches to the link should be sitting parallel with the ground.

Swaybar arms should be at 15 Degrees when on level ground.
