Default replace my swaybar links??

i have a 2011 2 door sahara with rubi shocks and springs, with shock extenders and 2 or 2.5 leveling spacers on front and rear, i noticed as well as others that the front sway bar is not angled up or straight its kind of angled down. my question, should i take off the rear sway bar links and put them on the front and replace the rear with teraflex 2.5 - 4" lift sway bar links? i think they are 12" long or so. and does anyone know the factory length of the rear sway bar links? thanks guys

My 2.5" teraflex kit provided me with new rear swaybar links and used the stock rears in the front. Sounds like you've got a plan. Move your rears up front and get teraflexes for the rear

No such thing as dumb questions and just basic hand tools. I believe 18 and a 19 mm and that's only thing to unbolt

Yes, just unbolt, swing the swaybars up a bit, and install the longer links. This might also be a good time to look at disconnects.
