Default Need some Longer Links for you BB? Try Moog K80042

I ordered a set of these today ... They are 8.35 inches bolt to bolt ... about 3 inches longer than the factory JK front Sway Bar Links and cost $18 each ... I'll report back when I get them ...... Perfect for a Budget Boost ...

The K80042 is about 3 inches longer than stock ... The K80043 is about 1.5 inches longer.

I got them from Amazon ... Free shipping and no tax ...

Def. check back once installed.
Also let us know if they are longer than the stock rears. If so, I guess you would move the stock rears to the front and put these on the rear?

They should be about 1 inch or so SHORTER than the stock rears links ...

I actually acquired a set of bent and busted links from the Teraflex leveling kit. The links in the leveling kit are the exact length of the F250 links - 8.35 inches ... they just have zerk grease fittings in them. Shouldn't be too hard to drill and install zerk fittings in the F250 links if you want them ....

They have already shipped and I should have them on Wednesday ..

Rubicon express sells longer rear links for $30 a pair. They can be had off ebay under a different seller name for $35 or so shipped. Perfect fit for my 2.5" spacer lift..and name brand RE

Got them today. I don't think they will work. They are perfect size but there is no articulation on either end. Just very sold rubber bushings. These were for F250's which I guess don't flex?
