2wd sway bar

Ok guys, I have just about replaced everything under the front of my truck. Now I did not remove the Sway bar uplinks. I
Just can't figure out how they go back in. This has been a most interesting day to say the least. Thanks to Woody for allowing me to come up. I am by myself and can not for the life of me figure the sway bar issue out. Please help.

Which part are you stuck on? The links bolt to the sway bar and the other end bolts up under the truck? Got a picture of where you're at?

The information posted by Roland provided all the correct information I needed. The sway bar goes below the tie rods and the uplinks go up. Thanks for the assist with this. The truck rides higher and smoother with less side to side travel.
