My evo links are super long. My axle stops drooping when the shock is fully extended. If your links flip then they aren't long enough.

^x2, and looking at those pics your links aren't long enough, I wouldn't wheel those without manually disco'ing. I have flipped my links before and been with peolple that have, it's definitely annoying.
The E-disco is a nice gimmick but it limits my travel and my links are long enough. I don't have limit straps, so my shocks are my limiting factor. Mine also works when it wants to.

It just sucks cuz I paid for the edisco wish I could just use it. Maybe I'll just get some longer links...IDK.
Thanks for the feeback though.

This is an elegant solution that comes from Teraflex if you decide to abandon the eDisco. They attach near the bottom of the radiator, then you just swing the disconnected link ends up to this and attach out of the way.

Here's a free solution.... Just remove it.... When my E-disco finally seized I just took it out completely and run no sway bar. It's not a race car, no need for high speed maneuvers anyway. Plus as an added bonus to the softer ride u can flex whenever and wherever you want!

So I have E-discos and just added a lift and am getting extended sway bar links to make it as parallel as possible(+-5*), should I still be worried about the disco flipping? I like big rocks and obstacles.

At 3.5" lift, my sway bar sits in the middle of the round tube in the center of the frame. I believe the links are 14".
Edit and photo add. The link mounts have been relocated up 3" and the links are 13".

You can still use your e disco. My links were to short which caused it to flip and bend. Just make sure your links are long enough and you should be good
