The stock ones will work but I would suggest buying some quick disconnects if your going to wheel it.

I have a 3 1/2" lift and mine are hitting the spring on the one side, longer links would stop it from hitting. The longer links that I have found start at 4" lift

I have a rough country series II 3" lift and it came with sway bar drop brackets.

another option is to go to fastenal or granger they have a barrel connector that fits, basically it is just a long nut, screw one end into the stock link and another end into some all thread, then use a few beefy washers and some lock nuts

another option that also works well is to lower the frame side mount with a spacer made from rectangular tubing and longer bolts



also you might want to do this as well
