Default rk 2.5 stock mod

Just rec'd my lift kit and planning on installing it this weekend but I have one question with the sway bar links that came with kit. Are they for the front or rear? Not real clear on the instructions. And I thought I read somewhere that the stock rears are longer so they can be moved/used for fronts and new sway bar links on rear. Then I read where guys are boring the holes in front swaybar to accept new links? I have a 08 2dr rubicon auto.

From what I have seen, the new ones are for rear, old rear ones are then moved to front

The new ones are for the front, and offer to make the a quick disco if you don't have a Rubi. With the RK 2.5 you will reuse your factory rears unless you want to get longer ones, but really not necessary because the rear sway bar is so small.

Alex is correct. The links that come with the RK kit are for the front swaybar.
Page 15 of the PDF goes into detail...

Take the rear sway bar off and hang it on the wall. It'll do you as much good there, lol.

My X Factor came with both fronts and rears. I'm not going to use either, I think.
Not running a rear sway bar any more, and have JKS on the front.
