Not sure if this is the best thread to ask in, but does anyone have any leads on where to get longer sway bar links? I’ve got a 3/2 level and I’ve noticed the stock links seem to cause my inner tie rods to rub against the sway bar. I need maybe an extra inch of clearance is all

Long time, no see!

I recall someone here is running links from a JK or some model of Jeep. I don't recall if they were on the front or rear. You might luck up with a set of stock links from another GM truck, like a Z71 or an older (OBS?) model.

Barring all that, you could make your own. You'll just need longer bolts (Grade 8 or higher) and a a couple steel tubes of whatever length you need. Reuse your original bushings and washers or get new.

Ha! No just dirty floor mats from the winter. I’m assuming that’s what you’re meaning.

Yeah. I never think about those small details of snow and muddy floor mats, etc. Down here, if a floorboard looks like that, it's because the car was in a flash flood or the windows were left down during consecutive hard springtime rains.

Also I think the rear is on it's way out. I floored it going down the road and it sounded like I blew it. Clanging noises were coming from underneath, kind of sounded like the trans area at 1st. Still in gear i was stepping on it and nothing. I put it in neutral then in gear, little more clanging then it stopped, went into gear and it drove. Stepped on it again and i heard some banging coming from the ds rear area(sounded like it was coming from that area). Govt lock?

Don't hear any noise in the video, but it was off in park and I was able to turn the rear wheels while in the air and the driveshaft wasn't moving. Doesn't seem to be any real play in the ds, as in U joints. Opinions or ideas?

Driveshaft isn't gonna spin with the trans in Park. Wheels should turn opposite of each other unless you have a binding diff. When you first start turning a wheel in one direction, there will be a few degrees of slack before the other abruptly "clunks" and begins spinning the opposite direction. If you continue to turn it while keeping that initial slack out of it, there shouldn't be any noise.

Do you know what diff you have?

That's exactly what it's doing.
Do you mean the ratio?
