Default Install rear sway bar links on front sway bar with 3" lift?

I was just reading the write up on the 3" FT install on Project-JK.com and it says the following,

"Mark’s Jeep JK Wrangler is a Rubicon edition and because it has an electronic sway bar disconnect system up front, the Full Traction disconnect links should not be installed. Instead, you will need to take your old factory rear sway bar links and install them onto your front sway bar."

Won't the rear links be too long for the front sway bar even with a 3 inch lift? Aren't the old links like 11 or 12 inches long?

Thanks for the info.

I will throw those on for the time being and then put the teraflex links back on once they send me the sleeves. I drive over 100 miles a day and don't want to put that much milage on without the correct sleeves.

FYI, I have a Full Traction 3" econo lift on an X Unlimited and mine are:

Stock Front: 6.5"
New Front: 12"

Stock Rear: 10.5"
New Rear: 14.5"

Since you're running a Rubi, you don't need quick-discos, so I'd just move the stock rear link up front and leave it.
