Default Lifts and swaybars

Just installed OME spring lift and have noticed my swaybars do not have allot of room for travel. It looks as if I flex too far that they could rotate back and end up breaking or bending.

So my questions would be.....am I worrying about nothing?.....At what height of lift do you need longer swaybars?......If I need new ones, all I can find are links for 3' and above lift, would they be too long?

Thanks for any help...

Sway bar links is something that you need to make sure is correct or you may bend/brake the stock ones. We offer longer ones with heim ends.

Do these come with instructions to set the proper length?

Talking

Just make them longer than the oem ones by the amount the ome lift lifts it.

The easy way is to disconnect the lower parts, let it hang, and set the new length for the new, further, distance. (The distance below where the stock one hung, to the place you NEED it to reach)

No, they do not come with instructions. You just need to make sure that during max droop and or articulation the links are long enough that they can't swing the opposite way.
