Extended Sway bar links? RSK?
I recently installed a PMF RSK on my 2 x 1997's. The sway bar end links seem way to short now. The lifts are both 6".. Looks like I will be needing sway bar end links of a longer variety? Any suggestions? Thanks fellas..

I'll check into those. I wonder about just building my own? Anybody ever do that? Or, lengthening the originals?

If you have a welder. Cut them in half and insert 1.5 in into a 9 in pipe length and weld pipe to them halves.

if you are using stock SuperDuty springs and a 3" or less RSk....
use STOCK REAR sway bar end links from 80-97 f350.

No, it is a rsk kit from PMF. I installed x code super duty spings with it. If i remember right, the guy at PMF told me it would equal about a 5" lift. I might me wrong on the exact height of lift. But its tall.

Ok, then NO. The stock rear links will not work.
I would look at some 6" lift ones, or get yourself some thick wall tubing so you can cut and extend your stock ones
