Default Rear swaybar links moved to the front???

I tried the search, but I can't seem to find the post I'm looking for. I read somewhere that you can move the rear swaybar endlinks to the front when installing a lift.

When moving the links to the front, can that only be done on certain size lift kits, or would it work on a 2.5" coil lift?

Or the better question might be; would I even need to move or change my front/rear swaybar links with a 2.5" coil lift?

You want the swaybars to remain level with the frame/ground. A 'cheaper' way to do this is to get new longer links for the rear and then move the stock rears up front. Since lift heights will vary quite a bit, the better way to do it is to get adjustable links front and rear.

If you go with short links and swaybars angled down, please post up some pics after flexing...

On the Teraflex 2.5" coil lift, you get new longer rear links and move the OEM rears to the front.
