Did you use wheel spacers? Do you have a pic?

The sway bar discs dont come with the kit right? Pardon my ignorance...what purpose do they serve?

sway bar links will keep your suspension form swaying too much to put it simply, you can buy quick disconnects to make them easier to disconnect....alot of people will disconnect offroad to allow for more suspension travel.

i personally took them off, and did not notice too much of a difference, but it is highly recommended by many that you do not drive without sway bar links on the road, but i have over 1k without them on and no issues or anything

Looks awesome. That's exactly how I want mine to sit. What size/brand tires are those?
