Sway Bar End Links

[Dismay]

from my understanding energy suspension makes the front ones and they are only like half an inch shorter than stock but they come with new mounting bushings
ordered those from truck smart they should be here friday and then I ordered the DJM shorter sway bar end links that killer posted up today and I don't know when those will be here yet

either way ever since I put my 6 15's box back in I've noticed a LOT of body roll in the front and the back

if I hit the right dip all 4 corners will move at different rates and it starts to get really bouncy

I'm hoping these will bring me closer to stock ride quality again

anyone do a write-up on the front and rear ones? I know there is one on the DJM website but those pictures are so outdated its ridiculous

Can't wait to hear how this turns out, try to take some pics of the old/new endlinks so we can see the difference in length, and let us know how much of a ride difference it makes (having the sway bar more level). I'm guessing it will help a little just having new bushings. Of coarse an upgraded sway bar would probly make the most difference, but $$$

will do..
I'm thinking as long as your sway bar is more level with the axle it will be just fine.. obviously the aftermarket ones that are larger will handle a lot better but at least I'll be back to stock ride quality.... I hope

well I got my shipment from stylintrucks 2 days ago and I open the package to find the FRONT sway bar end links.. the ones that I had already ordered from trucksmart except they are DJM and not energy suspension

not only that but they look like they've been used

this sucks! now I have 2 sets of front end links and still no rear ones even though the rears are wanted from the beginning!

Send them bitches back

 

[thehoe92]

well I think they might be shorter than the Energy Suspension ones in which case I'll take the brackets for the sway bar from the Energy Suspension kit and use the DJM end links but I'll have to compare when I get my tahoe back


back to my original question.. where do I find rear sway bar end links?! I don't need the whole rear hardware kit just the end links

 

[killer20072001]

Dude the ones I posted are for the back. They dont even sell front end links of a tahoe-yukon. If you got the wrong ones dont just loose your money get what you wanted, or at least get your money back.

That EL01 part number off stylintrucks that was posted looks like its for the fronts, atleast according to a parts breakdown off of the djmsuspension.com site. I'd post the link to the site but my blackberrys being uncooperative, just google el01 djm and it should come up for an avalanche 3/5 kit.
I remember seeing a decent selection of end links on jegs and summit but you need to know the measurements of what you want, seemed pretty cheap tho so you could probly buy a set or 2 and see what works if they have anything that could be used.

 

[killer20072001]

Those guys need to make it clearer on the site then. If it matches up with the part number from djm's site then they have got to be for the front. Send them back.

when i bought my truck it was already lowered (3/5), looking at the rear suspension, it seems like they just threw in some springs, cut the bump stop down, and maybe some shorter shocks, can't tell what they are even. So It might not be a bad idea at some point to just get a whole rear hardware kit - endlinks, trailing arm bracket, shock extenders.

Also it looks like you are supposed to shift the sway bar towards the pass side. This is why the rear end links for lowered applications are so specialized, becuase the driver and pass side have different offset. These are just my observations, maybe someone can give their input as to the importance and effect of each component ( endlinks, trailing arm bracket etc.)

Probably why when you see pictures of that djm hardware kit, one of the end links are "kinked" which would probably be for the passenger side. I wanna say Tony (norcalss) explained it before but i dont remember the reasoning for having to shift it.
