OE Rear Sway Bar Links
I am looking for a pair of rear sway bar links. I have the TF 2.5 BB with the OME shocks. The rear links I got from TF are too long. I have some rub on the sway bar with the tire, but bigger issue I noticed today is that the link/sway bar are bend my rear brake line. Not good. I want to try the OE links to lower the sway bar. Thanks in advance.

I've also got a set if still needed.
What issue are you having? I have the same BB and no issue. I remember putting on the brake line extension bracket and it could go on either way...meaning you may just have in on backwards and need to flip it over. I don't recall if it would have produced any rubbing if on backwards though.
And on the rubbing on the tire...you will have rubbing on the rim/tire with the OEM wheels if you don't put on spacers. The clearance is minimal on both sides. Before I got my spacers (before later replacing my wheels/tires) I had the 18" Sahara wheels and the drivers' side was rubbing the inside lip of the wheel on bolt head attaching the link to the sway bar. Spacers or wheels with different backspacing cure this.
