Default sway bar link length

Does anyone know the sway bar link leangth for a 3 inch lift. i have the JKS adjustable links and i think i may have them a little to short so the sway bar is a bit low but im not 100 percent sure. i just want to make sure they are good so i have the maxium stability while driving. should the sway bar be even with the frame rail. ?

any input would be appricated.

and thankyou in advance

You should adjust your JKS links so the sway bar is parallel to the ground or about 0 to 5 degrees.

Not sure about that, however it will decrease the possibilty of inverting your sway bar while flexing
