You can order joints directly through us or through any of our retailers. Inspect the joints for play prior to just blindly throwing parts at them.If they were produced in the last 6 years or so, the Axle end is RK03426 and the frame end is RK05183 if they were produced prior to that give us a call and we will figure out what you need.

Just optical illusion, or is that sway bar angled down quite a bit?

I would trim that stud off level with the nut so it does not catch your hard brake line when fully flexed. JKS includes that in the instructions with their adjustable links.

Indeed....good point! LOL, I've been through that whole rigamole myself! I even zip tie the hard line to really snug it up against my frame rail now. Every smidge of clearance helps. BTW, if you do ever have to replace hard brake line, oddly enough they are a reasonable cost from the dealer with all the plastic anchors and such already attached.

Yes, he's talking about the bolt that is connecting the sway link to the sway bar. see how far the bolt passes through the nut. What can happen is when the sway bar travels up, the bolt snags the hard brake line and pulls it back down.....creating a big "V" in your hard brake line. Like this (not mine):
