Rear SwayBar help
Did a forum search couldn't find much info.
I bought the ADDCO 2261 rear sway bar from SDsprings. This is the new style that mounts on the axel by the shock mount brackets all of this fits perfectly. I have seemed to have either bought the wrong end link or I am missing some type of mounting bracket on the frame as the end link I have is about 3-4inches short. EX didnt have a factory sway bar.
Endlink I have is MOOG K80161 center to center it is 5.75" in length this was said to be OEM for Ford Excursion but now I am not so sure that is true Now I have even found an AMAZON review saying it doesn't work wish I saw that earlier.
I am wondering if the F250 K80269, X15SL0352 will work as it is 12" center to center and has opposing ends. is the one I need before I purchase it and possibly be disappointed.
Thanks for the Help!

Suggestion to get the help you seek.
1. call SD Springs to purchase correct item.
2. Make new links to suit your need.
3. Rotate your current bar/link so the links attach.
**pics are always helpful.

I ended up figuring out the issue hoping to have it installed by next week when the correct end links get in. I had the new springs put on this week and can't believe the lift I got vs the weak old springs. Gained 2.5"s on the front and about 3.5" on the rear now the *** doesn't sag and has a factory looking rake +0.75" to it. Love the look now I need 33" tires fill some wheel well space. I can actually hook up my 800# tongue weight camper to it and my hitch doesn't want to hit the ground LMAO
