JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

i havent installed them yet, but have them sitting at home, i'm pretty sure they move the sway bar links a bit...which can be a problem for some setups so adjustable links are recommended. at least mel said that when i talked to him last winter.

I just talked to Andrew at EVO... he said that they have re-designed them and they no longer re-locate the lower mounting point of the swaybar links. So the current production ones will look like the what sm_rubi posted in his post on page 3.

I wish I could get my hands on the older version.

EDIT: I just notice that the pics sm_rubi posted of his are different than wayoflife posted. From the pic in the op it looks like the lower swaybar link is raised and on sm_rubi it does not...??? Also, form the picture of the product on EVO's website it looks like it does have a raised mounting point as well.
Not sure but I think they might have made a change cuz I asked Mel if I needed new end links (I think their earlier listing mentioned something about needing them) and he said they didn't because these where the new ones. Maybe the first version was slightly different. All I know is these things are worth the $ raised the rear contact point up to the same height as the diff and we've put them through some harsh flex with no issues.

I thought it was clear that they were two versions, the old one and the new one
