Default Teraflex S/T Swaybar installed!

Ok I just installed the Teraflex S/T Swaybar and it works great. My only question is..... The new swaybar links are adjustable. I am not 100% sure where I should set them. I have them equal obviously but what angle should the swaybar be at or should it be parallel??

Thanks

Pics are on page two

To the best of my knowledge the swaybar should always be parallel to the frame with the suspension at rest.

I think they can also be tilted up a little bit. You just don't want them too short when you flex causing the infamous "U" due to short links.

Set the links so the sway bar is 5 degrees up from parallel.

If the links are to short, when the suspension goes to full flex instead of the swaybar link coming back down to it's normal position, it can over extend and wrap around the tie rod, bending the link into a U shape.

This is what you want, if it's a little higher your still good.
