I just replaced sway bar LINKS on the second superduty and they are not symmetric.
I hope you didn't make a mistake?

Just replaced them this weekend, my truck has te same thing, and it's def stock suspension. Why it's like that I don't know, but there is no bushing for it! I pressed the old bushings out but one of the bolts refused to let go of the old bushing. A little heat fixed that up. Happy with the urethane bushings!!!

Trey,
Mine didn't have the gap in it like yours around the bolt hole. Does the oversized hole go all the way through or is it just the one side?

Its just on one side.

It just occurred to me (thanks to your picture) that when they were flipped upside down, maybe they were rotated 180* too! Who ever did this lift was ...

That's why I asked. Flip it around and put a big washer under the bolt head. You'll be fine.

Finished mine today. That and the new Bilsteins- wow what a difference in ride. No more clunking and no more rock hard hits on the bumps.
