e'05 Tahoe Z71 - rear sway bar links with 3/4 spacers?

[JT Z71]

Hey everyone- have a question around rear sway bar links with a minor lift.

Just got a 2005 Tahoe Z71 - rebuilding all suspension and incorporating a leveling kit. Bilstein 5100's all around (0-2.5").

Putting in new Moog 81609 coils to replace old worn out suspension. Adding in Daystar 3/4" spacers, don't want the rear lifted much, will be lifting the front 2.5".

With just the new springs, but also 3/4" spacers what should I use for new rear sway bar links? Going to replace them either way and if I need an extended or adjustable link would prefer to do that now. Not sure if stock would be best for adding 3/4+ lift into the mix.?

Thanks for any input!

These guys have a good blue print if this is the way you want to go about it. I'm surprised you didn't do a search on it. I suggest you skim through the threads instead of just going in blind.

Appreciate the reply. I agree - I actually looked at those threads a while back, and they were part of what led me to the selections made for what I'm after. This forum has been a great resource.

Speaking strictly of the rear - I'm just not seeing a direct representation to help me on the rear links. It's a Z71 already, with worn out suspension. Replacing the rear springs, but adding in the 3/4 spacers.

• The top thread mentions +1 Jeep rear links for their application, but I didn't see any parts reference for those links?
• Another reference from one is a comment about not changing the links out beyond stock - but they weren't being replaced anyhow it appears.

Just not sure which links to use with s small lift/new springs - if I wasn't planning to replace them anyhow I might just leave it and try, but this is the time for me to put whatever would be best in place...
Thanks!

When I rebuilt my entire suspension I used MOOG end links. They have grease fittings on them too. I'm running Z71 springs in my LS and it rides good.
