Default Rear sway bar links

OK, I tried researching this but can't find answers to my question that are satisfactory. I have bent the snot out of my rear sway bar link on the drivers side. I did some wheeling this past weekend and my back tire got of the ground a couple times so I guess it bent coming back down. Does anyone make a beefier one? Side note, I have a 3.5 RC lift so I'm not sure if these are stock but the are thin.

assuming that your running the stock sway bar or any of the aftermarket bars made for your jeep. any good quality link will work. the reason the links get bent is that they are too short. if the link is too short and you flex your jeep the sway bar will invert causing your links to bend. many times this also results in the link destroying the inner sidewall of your tire. the correct link will allow your sway bar to be 2-3 degrees above parrellel to the ground. In other words the ends of your sway bar should point at a slight up angle when sitting on flat ground. If the bar is parrellel to the ground or pointing down the link is too short.
