Rear sway bar link help needed

[Chocolate Thunder]

Gator beat me to it. I have what he posted. I keep all of my factory and aftermarket takeoffs in a shipping container here at work, so I pulled out my factory rear sway bar with the Metalcloak links still attached. Here's a pic of that along with the black synthetic 3/4" spacers that are still on my frame because i still havent dug up the factory length bolts...

So you’re running without the rear sway bar at all?

I just used what they sent me because I figured they know more about what works with what, and it has so for with the exception of the rear sway link to frame interference.

I think the spacer I was looking for is for the lower sway bar mounting location to put the link in a more vertical orientation rather than angled. The lower bushing seems to be in a bit of a bind and would be better served if it sat outboard about 1/2” or so.

EDIT:

Yeah, I know what your saying, my bushings are at a similiar angle.

They may have just made some revisions since you did yours. The joint has the red washer, there is an identification picture that is only in the 6-pack instructions:

Hahaha, no, Antirocks front and rear. My factory rear bar was hitting the underside of the frame, robbing me of the last bit of potential wheel stuff.

Mine have the red too and look like the ones pictured so I guess that means they are indeed rear links and not front ones.

I believe that flipping them to point inward instead of outward like both of you have them will fix the frame interference. It appears that it was only slight and only when full stuffed. I’ll still keep looking for a spacer/bushing/standoff like the one I posted a picture of. That’ll make me feel better about not stressing the lower bushing on the link.

I found some steel spacers that fit at Tractor Supply. They’re not perfect but they fit and fill the bill. I put them on today and they seem to be just right.
