Ok hold on....everyone is talking about the pin...I assume you mean clevis pin? Not the linch pin? I can't even get the 3/16"x1.5" linch pin in the holes. I'm doing the driver side if that matters or not. What Am i doing wrong. It's too big!!!!
And I bought everything like the OP receipt says to the UPC code even.
HELP!!!!!

That's what I'm talking about. The linch pin, the one that goes thru the sway bar link, won't fit thru the holes in the sway bar. I'm not talking about the pin going into the tiny holes on the linch pin.
Everyone on my page now
I bought the same one, 3/16 x 1.5 inch pin(or bolt) and it won't fit. Should I go get a smaller diameter one, or will it be too week I wonder.
How did the OP get it to fit. Mines a 2009

Just tried doing this mod, but as others have said 1/2" is just too big. Pretty sure I don't want to go with 7/16" if it's a little "sloppy" and finding a metric clevis pin here is going to be next to impossible. I'm going to Uwharrie this weekend so I will just unbolt and strap them up, but afterwards I think I will look into hogging out the end link holes.

7/16" is what everyone uses. Haha it's not "a little sloppy" as far as handling goes. There is no way you can feel a differnence unless you lowered your jeep, put low profiles on and are running road courses lol. The only thing is you'll hear it jingle going over bumps, thats all.

I didn't mean sloppy as in handling, I meant as far as fitment. I'm confused, if everybody is using 7/16" how was the OP able to do this with 1/2"? It looks like others were able to ho 1/2" without issue, so there must be model year differences. Mine is a 2010, btw.
I come from a sports car background, and extra movement in the suspension is not generally a good thing. I prefer my stuff fitting properly.

Oh i gotcha. I already have this setup so i didn't really look into the reciept. I got mine from Lowe's, mines a 2012. Did you try the 1/2" from home depot? I mean mines just a little loose left and right cuz of the hole position for the pin, but its like 1/16" maybe with the washers. The 7/16" clevis is a pretty decent fit for me.
