Feel like I'm missing something here. RE 3.5 lift is installed, the last thing is the sway bar end links, which do not fit. they are too narrow overall as you can see from the pics. The stock ones were angled outward to take up the room, these are straight up and down, so I don't see how they are going to work. These are the ones that came in their kit (RE 3.5 super ride). Any suggestions welcome to make this work.

 

think your sway bar side bracket is on wrong..

this is how it goes on..

 

abodyjoe, I'm not sure I follow?

 

plus there should be new bolts and spacers for the lower mounts.

 

in your picture it looks like you put the bracket under the sway bar.. its supposed to straddle the sway bar..

plus there should be replacement bolts and spacers in your kit for the lower mount..

th epicturs i posted are of my RE 3.5" kit..

 

as soon as the sun comes up i'll get you a couple pics..

 

ok here ya go..

looks like the bracket on your sway bar is on wrong.. below is how it is supposed to go..





your kit should have come with longer bolts and spacers for the lower mount. see pictures below...





how it looks all together..

The aftermarket links I received have the offset like stock. Adding a spacer is RE's way of being able to use a generic straight link. Will have to get longer studs for axle mount.
Also, the bolts on upper links should be turned around, nut facing outward. Otherwise nut can impact chassis when suspension compresses.
Would be interesting to know if you get bumpsteer with that setup. The trackbar relocation bracket takes the drag-link/trackbar out of parallel alignment.

 

I keep posting this pic........you guys just don't get it.........lol

 

Don't even understand what is going on here or why??????

 

That works..
Referring to first picture, axle bracket for track bar.

 

Alright, thanks guys. I understand now with the pics. I will relocate the bracket to the top side of the sway bar, and flip them around so nut side is facing outwards.

Also, it sounds like I'll need to remove the factory stud and use the longer bolt from what you're saying? And then use longer bolt/spacer?

SteveMongr, I have a question about the track bar relocation bracket, is there an issue with how I've done it? The RE kit says to either drill a hole to relocate, or to use a relocation bracket, either way it needed to be moved slightly. Was this wrong?

Thanks!

 

we get it you modified your sway bar.... the other thread about disconnects you posted it in had no relevance in that thread at all...

most people dont have the fab skills or welding skills to do this so they stick with OEM, myself included.

 

I wouldn't say wrong, but moving the pivot point lower changes its relationship with steering.

 

SteveMongr, I don't mean to be difficult, maybe my understanding of keeping the bars parallel is incorrect, but this "looks" pretty close to me. Am I misunderstanding?
