The reason most people put them on their truck is due to the stock linkage "dissappearing". It is cheaper to put on the EnergySuspension component than the stock pieces which will rust/break off again.

If you look at your front sway bar, the ends will be connected to a 5" long bolt with rubber bushings. That is the end link,,,,,the bolt and bushings. Ford end links have a nasty habbit of breaking and "disappearing". The Energy suspension kits are alot beefier and alot cheaper. You can wait till they break or just change them out now.

They are probably referring to polyurethane bushings. The stock end bushings and the sway bar bushings are made out of rubber. Just replacing the stock bushings with urethane ones will stiffen things up a bit.

They'll ask you to measure the bar diameter. This is for the polyurethane bushings for the frame mounts.
I think the advantage of the Energy Suspension parts is the plating. The bolt diameters are nearly the same. The Ford links are rusting and then snapping.
I'm curious, has anyone broken an E.S. link?
