I dropped my 06 Yukon Denali XL with belltech 2/3 drop. The back is at 3" with the spacer in it. I have eibach sway bars that I installed at the same time of the drop. I got the new shorter end links from Tony also. I moved the bracket over 1" on the axle, and I had the sway bar mounting on the right side of the endlinks. My problem is the swaybar hits the passenger side shock and rubs on it. From all the pictures I have looked up on here it seems like no one else has this problem. If I mount the sway bar on the left side of the end links then the sway bar hits the panhard bracket. Not sure what to do but I would like to get a sway bar on the rear of the car instead of driving around without one.

Ya, its basically pushed right into it on the passenger side. Also with how short the the endlinks are the sway bar is hitting up against the panhard right behind spare tire also.

Im throwing on the stock sway bar links for now just to see if I can actually get everything bolted up and usable.

I all ready threw the stock endlinks back on. I need to be driving the car so I couldn't leave the sway bar just hanging there.

It doesn't look that bad, its just close to the panhard bracket, haven't driven it yet so Im not sure if its going to hit or not.

I'm having the same issue with my 02 burb. It's all djm on my truck. End links and bar. When it's all bolted in it hits the pass shock. Actually had it hooked up wrong before and broke the pass end link because it was hitting the pan hard bracket. So I'm interested in what we find out here. I've already ordered new endlinks but not putting them on untill I find out some more info.

Thats exactly what my sway bar looks like with the endlinks. It is pushed as far over as yours and rubs on the shock.

How much is yours lowered? Mine is only lowered 3" and it seems that they are way too short for a 3" drop, and also seems there is way too much of a bend. Its kind of frustrating that I bought the endlinks because everyone says you need them and then you run in to a situation like this that you cant even use them. Especially in your case when you broke one.

My stock sway bar is VERY close to the rear passenger shock as well after I installed the DJM endlinks. I'm at a 4" drop with the Belltech Springs. I was told this is very common to be close by Tony but it does seem pretty sketchy.! It's been fine so far but would feel a lot more comfortable with a little bigger spacing between these parts.

My sub is lowered with magaughtys spindles and springs 2/3 and Beltech keys in front and half a coil cut off in the back. Free travel mod and z71 stops . So its probably at about a 3/ 3.5 now.
