Default Front sway bar links.

My driver's side sway bar link...the top mounting area..has some play in it. If I hold the link..the sway bar can move on that side. So I'm replacing both front links.

You think it's the sway bar or the link hardware? See the daylight?? lol



Should I go for disconnects or not? 3" lift.

I used to break sway bar links all the time when I didn't disconnect them. I would buy disconnects or look at the thread on here on how to make your own, it's really simple. Through the summer I used to just leave them disconnected all the time but some people think its dangerous driving without them.

If I may hijack this for a moment....
I just put a 2.5 lift on my 2013. I seem to remember you can move the rear links to the front, and get some longer ones for the
rear.
Is that correct? If so, who has them?

That's correct. You can buy longer ones for the rear (rough country sells a pair for $25) and move the stock rears to the front. Good luck !

So you think it's link hardware wore out? or sway-bar getting honed out?

How much longer are the rear over the fronts? I added a 3" level kit on mine and was wanting longer ones.
