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..

Mine are short too but only have a 3 in lift but they function. Rough country has a 4 inch extended one for 35 bucks that I was thanking of getting.

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.

I guess you did not install the RSK and are running 37s

I cut mine, layed them into two pieces of small angle from home depot, and welded them.

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.

Royson12 07-22-2016 05:12 PM

It does have 37" militarys on it also.

This is the beast in question.

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

Mine are from skyjacker... I think they're $100?
