Hi All,

I noticed JBA is now selling extended rear swaybar links for his 4 inch lift. I have an earlier version of the 4 inch lift without the links. Thoughts? What would be the benefits of springing for this? $195.95

Thanks, Musclez. How are you liking your BWoody links?
I thought I'd bump this up to see if anyone else could weigh in on the original Q.

I have the links. They work fine, seem to be better made than stock and they are longer. Would imagine there would be less stiffness in the rear than stock when lifted but didnt do a side by side compare with driving on different links.

I have them. They seem well built. I noticed a difference with how far down the axle would drop between both stock and JBA, but its not HUGE. But it is noticeable. Enough so that you will have to have the extended the brake lines with the JBA links.
As I understand it you the amount of axle drop is dependent upon the length of those links. So even though your vehicle sits up higher, with out those links you won't get better flex, unless you just remove them altogether.

one thing i noticed on my ome install and is the need of longer sway bar links in the back, i think this can help with the flex.
any info on this.
