Need Longer Sway Bar Endlinks?
So I have the 2" OME HD lift on my 2007 2Dr JK. I netted like most people right at 3" front and rear. My question is should I order longer sway bar endlinks for the rear and move the stock rears up front. I know I know, go ahead and get quick discos and I will eventually this is just a temporary thing since I already have the rears and replacement are only $50. Should the sway bars be parallel to the ground? Heres a couple pictures of them with the stock sway bar endlinks. These are what I am looking to replace the rears with. Thanks for the help.

Why would you want longer links? Go out and flex it and let the swaybar flip around backwards because of the short links. That'll give you a perfect excuse to get new parts and repair some damage. Just be sure to post pics for us. 
Did you get the sarcasm there? You already know the answer to your question, but yes, you want the swaybars within a few degrees of parallel to the frame. There was even a pic of a flipped swaybar happening on the lift at the shop.

Assuming your shocks are long enough to properly flex your suspension, your sway bar should be about 5 degrees above parallel. Depending on the lift, the stock rears used on the front might get close.
Like you said, you really need disco's.
Or you can do this to your end link... notice even the stock rear used on the front was too short.
