Default sway bar link? after bb install

Im about to install my budget boost and shocks. Do i need to do anything with the sway bar links after the lift is installed? My kit doesnt come with anything to extend them.

I would think that you need new longer rear links. You can then move the OEM rears to the front. Contact the mfg, they should be able too give you a definite answer.

You want the swaybars level, or pointed slightly up. I think the longer rear links were $15 when I ordered mine.

With a small lift, it may not be an issue. But some people have found that flexing with short links causes the swaybar to flip around backwards, turning the links into pretzels and damaging whatever else the bar comes in contact with. This has even been known to happen on the lift at the shop.

One of those 'cheap insurance' items.
