Did both sleeves and the Artec Armor kit, mainly since I'd had the sleeves for awhile and had never gotten around to adding them and just decided why not, then added Synergy track bars, flipped drag link, tie rod and sector shaft brace kit at the same time, I'm just glad there wasn't any labor cost involved

Thanks. I wonder why mine is extended a lot more, especially the driver side?

Take the same pics. Should be the same in length. Does yours favor the passenger side ?

Here is a great write up on this. I plan on doing this after my trade in. Hope it helps.

I maxed out the maximum extended length recommended on the adjuster side, then loosened the pitman side.

What's your track bar show for threads showing ? (Axle centered)

Wish I went full retard when my Jeep was new, but I didn't know any better at the time. With all my trips without any axle reinforcements, pretty sure the Cs and tubes are tweaked, better late than never.

Same lock left/right. Haven't measured, but the coils look identical up and down wise.

Not sure how I missed this ... Looks like your swaybar link is angled to the right. Are you positive the axle is centered ?
This would explain the extra threads showing on the drag link.
