So I am still waiting on my 4.5" lift from RK, in the mean time what sway bar end links did you guys go with? I am trying to piece together the rest of the stuff I need to slam it all together. I already have the gorilla tape and glue.........

I think that if you’re gonna be using the electro disco, the best links for maximum articulations is the RK No Limits sway links.

I did a comparison awhile back between electronically disconnected and unhooked. There was maybe a quarter inch difference.

At extreme flex any sway link that is not a double heim will bind because of the amount of misalignment that happens.

Here’s a few pics, you can see how much misalignment that occurs, and these are 3.5” springs......

hooked and disconnected........

unhooked.....

Picking up axles next Monday, it's been a long 9 months, but I think I'll like the end product better than a baby. I feel older for having gone through this nightmare...

Now, I just have to wait for it to cool down enough to install everything, probably September lol.

oh, @Roky , I'm now thinking RK long arms front only, so I don't have to F'k with my rock rails lol.

Well, it did give me time to change my build plans 37 times, not sure if that's a good thing. Oh, and get this, if you "Will call" your axles they don't come crated, you have to pay an extra $250 for a crate if you want it, loose axles in a utility trailer here we come lol.

Ok...... can you believe it..... it’s been 12 weeks already since I ordered my long arms, my shipping date was Wednesday. Well ...... that didn’t happen. So I’m reaching out to @Moto_21 and @JimLee for some guidance. They’ve both been through it recently. So guys, how mad am I supposed to be at this point, and what level of tantrum should be thrown. .

I think RK knows that the humidity in FL is not at its highest point yet and they want to make sure you sweat the most when installing, so delaying just a little longer

plus - the longer they keep you on their mid-arm the more kits they sell

I think this is now the appropriate level of dissatisfaction.
