@NORCAL SS

Which kit is this? I've been looking at your website and I need to change our my sway bar and end links. The DJM rear end links, they do not lower the rear end at all, correct? They just adjust the rear sway bar parallel to the ground.


its not on my site i set each customer up with a paypal bill on this one. endlnks are 85 more i can shoot you a custom bill on this

I would not hesitate to buy anything from this ^ man. He speaks the truth and his stuff works as advertised. I am very satisfied with the drop kit I purchased form him.

I scored a pair of Jeep Wrangler front sway bar links for just $18 off eBay. I put them on the rear of my truck and they are straight just like our OEM ones. Much cheaper solution then the DJM links.

There is a reason djm are angeled. If yiu use shorter links and cut bumpstops down or do free travel mod the swaybar comes up and hits the panhard bar bracket causing a stiff ride.

Also poly links much more beefy design and fully greaseable and best of all solid ends no swivel so rear is better on cornering. I tried the straight links years ago.

Btw nice find for 15 shipped

Also for 1 to 1.5 shorter endlinks not needed. 3 or more I usually do them.

Ok thanks for the explanation of why they are angled. I wasn't aware of that.

My setup in the rear are the 5305 coils w/ 2" spacers, brand new air ride shocks, shorter links, wrangler links, & cut bumpstops . It rides very good to me. I'm not sure if the sway bar is hitting the panhard. The reasoning I have the 2" spacer rather than the 1" is because the rear drop was too low for my liking. Considering that my front end is at factory height.

@NORCAL SS so how do you adjust it from .5 to 1.75? I'm gonna take my lift off and don't want so much rake but I haul trailers in the summer and don't want it looking saggy either. Would that be around 1-1.25" rear lower? Is this set up going to ride better than my 2.5/1.5 lift kit? Is everything I need included in the kit for 265?
