I originally put on a 1-3/4" Daystar coil spacer lift but wanted to level it out more so I replaced the front spacers with the Teraflex 2.5" coil spring spacers with the shock extensions. I still have the front and rear OEM swaybar links installed. I also have another pair of stock rear swaybar links. Should I install those in place of the shorter front swaybar links?

Pluke the 2

if your sway bar is 5 degrees i wouldn't bother.

I put a RC 3.5 lift on and thats what the kit called for longer rear ones go on the front. With that said, it may work for you also just put them on and see that they don't hit anything. Just my 2 cent's

Just get a nice set of adjustables, and keep those rear links just in case. On a hard core trail you never know if those rears might end up bending a little. In most cases a hammer can fix it, but in the event of something more, it would be nice to have them. I keep my old fronts around for that exact reason, maybe I am just paranoid

Yes, put the extra set of stock rears up front. You want the swaybars somewhere between 0 and 5deg positive.

How can I tell if it is b/w 0 and 5 deg.?

It's not a science. You just want the sway bar pointed up a little bit so that the sway bar doesn't wrap around to the opposite side during articulation. From the horizontal position the bar ends should be slightly above the bend of the bar. About an inch or so. The issue really isn't about the sway bar ends bending. It's about the sway bar reversing position causing the bent bar link to puncture your expensive tire.

Do a search for bent sway bar end link and you will find pictures of what it should look like and carnage pictures of what happens when the sway bar swaps ends.
