Wow, definitly not worth the risk, don't ever skimp on parts. Think safety first...ORM man ORM. (operational risk management; think..what could happen if I did that, before you actually do it...it saves lives) Also, never start a project before having all the required parts to do it the right way; it makes the job easier and safer. Not that I haven't done it, but I've learned from my mistakes, keeps the frustration level down and lets me pull my jeep out of the garage.

Thank you guys, I ended up flipping end links to the inside as some members suggested. This is only a temp solution for next few days until I get my new wheels and tires on.

X2 had to just disconnect and tie up rear sway bar till I got my wheels
