Do upgraded sway bar end links actually make a difference?

I found these Yeti links and wonder if you guys agree with the claim.

The rest of the claim should read, “ and kiss your articulation goodbye “……lol…these are ok if you unhook them when you disconnect, but not good if you use the electronic disconnect…..

I was curious about this as well. I put on the mopar lift sway bar links and I think they are just fine. However, I have wondered if there is a legit upgrade for daily driving.

yeah, that sounds like a whole lot of BS. Your end links shouldn’t ever be bending. I’ve only ever heard them bending when things were *breaking* or about to break. Like over flexing and then the sway bar goes the wrong way.

When I saw them, I thought it was a bit far fetched.

I was also looking at the Metal Cloak ends that have disconnects. Reminded me of my old YJ

RK no limits…..it’s a dbl heim joint style link… its designed specifically for the Rubi disco..

There’s a lot of misalignment when you’re articulating Offroad using electro disco and the links are attached….. Icon makes a cheaper version….here’s a pic of the regular style link and the no limits, you can see how much misalignment that occurs……

Those look a lot better. I will have to look and see if RK or Icon make some that will work with the Mopar lift.

Here’s a few pics of mine right now. It seems pretty short however, the sway bar is pushed slightly upward already. I’m thinking it’s from the springs settling the last few years.

You’ll have to push the sway bar button and droop the axle to see how straight they get… the Mopar lift springs only extend 26.25” so your links may be ok, but you need to test it to be sure, you don’t want to find out on the trail…..

I just changed mine out from the Rubicon stock links to some AEV ones which are about 2-3” longer. After the small lift I did, I could hear them until I disconnected. I’ll be testing these soon

The icon ones are made for 2.5” lifts so should work. They are adjustable in length.

Marketing HYPE! All the links connect the sway bar with the suspension and it's a fixed mount to the suspension which in turn moves up and down and is transmitted to the sway bar..

The answer is YES they work great if your links are broken or just bending and this is NOT likely to ever happen.

However, they sure look KOOL and I can ASSURE YOU that you are going to get a lot of interest from the Sonic Drive crowd..they will be impressed along all of that those Jeeper that have NO FRIGGIN idea what a swaybar does.

The bushing in my passenger side end link has cracked due to a split second of inattentiveness on my part. Yes, they can give out when you smack into a rock.

I guess I am the luckiest man in the world, 59 years of off-roading, and never broke one, thank my lucky stars...

Since the links that came with the mopar kit are only about 7.75", I am wondering if the Icons will work if I decide to swap my springs out later with Metalcloaks to add another inch. The icons show they are 6.75" to 9.75", so I would think it would work fine. Unless I need to get the Jeep up on a hoist and disconnect to confirm??
