As stated in the title, we are installing the lift kit. Since the Jeep was from snow country, we have encountered/are encountering a lot of rust and stuck parts. The sway bar end links need to be replaced. They were difficult to remove.

For this size lift, can I go with stock end links or do I need to buy extended ones? I have not had a chance to ask JBA but we are in the middle of the build so need to get this together as the vehicle is going back out West end of the week...I hope!

Thank you. We got some stock ones and bolts since the bolts and nuts were really corroded. The northern Winters didn't do the underside any good.
Further, my son leaned against a rust spot in the back door and put his finger through the bottom edge. Always something new...I hate rust!

We are in South Carolina.

Finally almost got one side (Driver's) done. Removing that A arm was a bear. Doing it twice is even worse since I reinstalled it first without installing the coilover. I should have looked at the directions closer and installed the coilover first. With the weather colder and the light going away too soon, it makes the job that much more difficult. Especially for a first timer :)
