Exclamation Help! Rear swaybar links with stock rims and no spacers.

Well I took the plunge and ordered a RK 2.5" Max Travel lift today(NorthRidge4x4 Canada). It comes with rear swaybar links but I run stock rims with no wheel spacers so most likely the links will rub on the rims. I was going to order what I thought were skinnier links with heim joints but they were all out.

Now I called NorthRidge4x4 USA and talked to David to see if he has any of them and he says they won't fit either. He wasn't sure the width of them but was told they don't fit so I guess there is a chance he may be wrong although David is super knowlegeable so I dunno???

What are my options here? I don't want wheel spacers or new rims. Has anyone done this before? Are heim joint rear links not workable either?

I just looked under my jeep and I think the JKS ADJUSTABLE END LINKS 07-10 JK 2943 will work just fine. I can adjust them to be just a hair shorter than the inside of the rim and they will never hit.

ah, I see my old lift is a 1.75 daystar which uses 1" blocks to lower the rear swaybar down. This is why my links can afford to be 1" shorter.
