Default Rear Sway bar question

I'm waiting for my OME 2" medium duty lift to come in and I purchased a set of stock rear sway bar links from a forum member to replace my stock front links because I've got a Rubicon and read problems about the fronts being too short. Now that I'm looking at the back links I'm wondering, will it be okay if I leave the stock links on? It looks to me like the end of the sway bar will not sit level with the ground after 2" of lift.

Thanks.

I have been running the stock rear links with my OME life and have had no problems at all.

Did you replace the front links? Just wondering if there will be any issues caused by my rear sway bar not sitting level.

I replaced my fronts with the JKS Quicker disconnects, but you should be fine with the rear disconnects on the front.

yep, you'll be just fine with stock links in the rear.

If you got a kit from Terra Flex, it would have everything you need in it, and it all fits....

The rear sway bar looks pretty small, is is a big problem to just remove it? Does it really make that much difference?
