Though a bit off topic and unrelated to rear sway bar end links...

295/30/26 Is a 33” tall tire. Which is close a whole 1” larger diameter than stock tires. If you are measuring your drop from ground to fender lip that extra 1” in wheel diameter would explain why you’re only measuring 1/2.5” out of your 2/3-4 drop.

In regards to the sensor rods;
Auto ride sensor rod links can be swapped to 10-24 threaded machine screws. At an overall length of 3-11/16" it levels out with about a 1/2" rake. For every 1/8" change in sensor rod length changes ride height by 3/4". It doesn’t take much adjustment in the sensor rod lengths to adjust the ride height.

thanks for the info on the rod length. As far as the fender height measurements, I measured with the 26” wheel setup on

Good to know. Getting my burb lowered Wednesday. So it should be slightly longer than 3inches? Belltech instructions say to adjust them to where they are about 3 in. Glad to know that every 1/8” change in sensor rods, makes a 3/4” change in height.

tony, told me to shorten the rods to bring it down. I’m at 2.95 and he said to try 2.75 and 2.50.

I went ahead and ordered the djm endlinks off of eBay. Walking up to the truck from behind, I noticed the sway bar is hanging down way too far and looks ridiculous. Even if it’s “not needed” it will look much better and be back to its proper angle.

I ended up picking a set also just incase. Glad I did. Install is tomorrow. Hope everything goes well.

Just adjusted the sensor links to 2.61”. Truck settled to about 34 7/8, looks great, but rides like complete trash on these 26s.

Well those djm endlinks were not needed. Stock ones will work. Just move the mounting bracket as shown. Hotchkis front and rear sway bars. Perfectly aligned. Picture is sideways for some reason.

Sorry to hear. Wonder what is different or went wrong. I purchased my drop kit from Tony and am riding 26s on my Escalade. No issues. Rides great. Your drop does seem more aggressive. Maybe that's the difference. Not sure.
