Sway bar end links with lift

[acct21]

So I've seen the Skyjacker extended links -- for a 4" to 5" lift.



Have also seen the pricey adjustable pieces, which go from (either) 6" to 8", or stock height to 4".



My question is -- how much lift can you put in before you need extended sway bar end links? Can you use the stock pieces for a 2" lift? 3"? 4"?

I bought the Skyjacker ones from Team Grand Wagoneer. My yellow jeep has a 4" lift. The PO did not extend the sway bar, and now the frame has a nice groove in it where it was rubbing for who knows how long?
I do like the design of the BJ's kit. You can disconnect it rather fast for going off road.

I have 2 vehicles with 4" lifts no extensions no grooves no issues no difference in performance. Those detachable links rattle like crazy. If you don't go off road they are a total waste of money. In my opinion the extension on anything less than 6" is a waste.

I put a set of the BJs detachable links on Wally. They come apart pretty easy but putting them back in usually required a jack to torque things around until they would line up. I only took them off for the hard stuff. I think was easier to just use regular links and take them off or at least the bottoms when I wanted more flex.

Thanks for the responses.

I do not intend on taking this off-road to any extent that would require disconnecting the sway bar end links. I just wanted to make sure I don't bind the sway bar somehow with a 3-4" spring lift and the stock end links.

Mine are homemade, no longer than the originals, don't hit anything and go on and off pretty easy as long as I an on flat ground with the wheels pointed straight.





They have been through two different axle combos and worked equally well.
