It would have to be quite the specific shape to get inbetween everything around the passenger side to hit the sway bar link no?



I didn't take the tire off but looking around it and feeling it there was nothing new.



Yep, it has the high steer kit. The swaybar extension is suppose to be used if you are using the synergy sway bar disco kit which I am not. I didn't think about the links against the drag link though... Could they bend back against the drag link?
I set mine so the swaybar links are slightly above level as they face to the rear. I've seen the axle drop with too short of a ling and wrap it into a pretzel. Yours isn't bent that badly.

Bet for the lift they took the rear links and put them on the front. Looks from the picture that the OP needs links 1" or 2" longer than what are on there.

Ah, I see you found the weak link in your setup.
